Severe Leg Pain? Neurologist Urges MRI, Warns of Misdiagnosis

Intense Leg Pain? A Neurologist's Advice and the Importance of Proper Diagnosis. A recent video by Neurologist Peskhov highlights the challenges in diagnosing severe leg pain. The doctor emphasizes the need for an MRI of the lumbar spine to determine the underlying cause, dismissing osteochondrosis as the primary issue in one particular case. He stresses the importance of seeking professional medical attention and notes that typical pain relievers are often ineffective for this type of pain. "Patients often can't even sleep," Peskhov explains, "and even when they wake up, they may not feel their leg for hours." While promoting his Telegram channel for appointments, he underscores the importance of timely diagnosis and treatment. This case underscores the need for thorough medical evaluations when dealing with persistent and severe pain.
