My leg gets locked from the femoral vein when walking along with back pain.. why is this and what can i do?

Possibilities: Not sure what you mean by your leg getting locked from the femoral vein.... It really sounds as though this could all be coming from your back and not your arteries or veins but there always could be more than one problem causing your symptoms. Have you seen your doctor about it?
