What tests are done to figure if you have circulation problems in thighs sometimes when standing too long. what exer can i do to when it comes

Thigh pain: That type of pain may be what we call pseudoclaudication from spinal stenosis because it mimics pains caused by circulation problems. I see in your profile you have a bulging disc, so i would consider the possibility of spinal nerve impingement as more likely and a lumbar spine MRI may be the way to go. Good luck!
