legs fall asleep/numbness/pain

I've had pain for several weeks.  Been to the urgent care, ER, and to a local physician.  The pain started in my lower leg, and continued into my hip, and foot, now it has progressed into my lower back and down my other leg.  Now my legs go to sleep at night and wake me up.  Who should I go to and get the right kind of help?  I have been diagnosed with bursitis, neuropathy, and other guesses, but only an xray of my hip was done.  They have given me Toradol, and Amitriptiline, but they didn't help and the latter made me so sleepy I couldn't function.  I really need help.

Toradol, Ketorolac is for decreasing pain and Amitriptiline is to decrease your anxiety.
You would need right kind of Physiotherapy and avoid some movements till you are fine.

An orthopaedician examination is also advised for you. Correlating your X-ray discuss the right course and if required some other tests would be advised.

Take care!
