Other symptoms may include difficulty bending forward or sideways, as well as sciatica-like sensations radiating down one or both legs. In some cases, anterior thigh pain and cramping can also occur. Seeing a doctor for an accurate diagnosis is essential for proper management of the condition before it progresses further.
