L3-L4 Bone spurs osteophytes
Hello Doctor, I’m currently experiencing some problems. When I sit, I feel pain in my hip. When I stand up, the right side of my body feels stiff and it curves slightly. My right side also feels a bit heavy, and I can’t take big steps. After stretching for a while, it feels slightly better. When I’m lying down or sleeping, the pain is minimal and I feel more relaxed afterward. Could you please tell me what the issue might be, what procedure or specialist I should visit, and what I need to do? Is my condition serious?
