Since you are having leg pain for one year starting from the left thigh and now involving both legs and lower back, the most likely cause is lumbar spine pathology with radiculopathy, not cervical spondylitis, because cervical issues do not cause leg pain. Chronic nerve-related pain can also be associated with vitamin D or B12 deficiency, or sometimes fibromyalgia if there is whole-body pain with poor sleep and fatigue. You should get an MRI of the lumbosacral spine along with vitamin D, vitamin B12, thyroid profile, and CBC tests. Pregabalin is appropriate for neuropathic pain, but if pain persists, duloxetine can be added under supervision. If deficiency is found, correct vitamin D (60,000 IU weekly for 6–8 weeks) and B12. The most important treatment is regular physiotherapy including core strengthening, hamstring stretching, posture correction, and avoiding prolonged sitting. Maintain proper weight, use a firm mattress, and avoid repeated forward bending. Seek urgent evaluation if you develop progressive weakness, numbness worsening, or bowel/bladder symptoms.

That sounds really exhaustingâchronic pain like this can wear you down physically and mentally. your symptoms fit a mix of nerve irritation + spine wear-and-tear. Cervical spondylitis can cause pain in the neck, head, shoulders, and hands, while lower-back involvement (lumbar strain or disc irritation) can send pain into the thighs and legs. When nerves stay irritated for a long time, pain can spread and feel like whole-body aches. Pregabalin helps calm nerve pain, but it doesnât fix the root causeâmuscle stiffness, weak support muscles, and poor posture keep re-triggering the pain.
In Ayurveda, it is known as Vata Prakopa and Dhatu Kshaya, your symptoms are confirming it, so the treatment would include regeneration and nourishment of degenerated body tissues; in which Ayurvedic medicines and Panchakarma Therapies will work wonders; along with Dietary and lifestyle modifications.
Next Steps
for proper treatment and care, you can contact us for consultation, including your dietary and lifestyle correction.
Health Tips
Try gentle daily walking, light stretching, and regular hot-water fomentation on the neck and lower back. Sleep on a firm mattress, avoid high pillows, and limit mobile or laptop use with bent neck. Eat warm, home-cooked food, drink enough water, avoid cold foods and excess tea or coffee, and get vitamin B12 and D levels checked. Slow, consistent care works better than strong painkillers for long-term relief.

I understand your discomfort.
Your symptoms suggest a nerve & joint-related problem,
which indicates weakness & irritation of nerves along with age related joint changes.
The medicine you are currently taking (pregabalin) helps reduce nerve sensitivity & gives temporary relief
This condition requires systematic treatment, including
Nerve strengthening,
Joint nourishment,
Posture correction
Next Steps
Medicines & home based therapies will be advised only after a detailed consultation

Hello ...i'm here to solve your problem..in more guidance you can consult me online through instant consult.
Now moving on your condition. Firstly I likely to assure that it's not classical cervical spondylitis. In modern is this sciatica.
In ayurvedic term it's likely Katigata Vata in which
Vata dosha localized in kati pradesha (lumbar region)
Causes lower back pain, stiffness, difficulty in movement .
It's classical Gridhasi (Sciatica in modern terms)
Pain starts from kati (lower back)
Radiates to sphik → uru → janu → jangha → pada (hip → thigh → knee → leg → foot)
Pain travels along the nerve pathway
Can be bilateral (both legs)
Hope I cleared your doubt about your disease.
Fine, so avoid : Improper posture
Prolonged sitting
Degenerative changes
Stress, ruksha-sheeta ahara
