(b) is answer i guess.. as its clear case of claudication but then choice was between intermittent claudication and neurogenic claudication .But as far as i remember intermittent claudication can be relieved by rest but neurogenic can`t be relieved by just resting.

The pathophysiology is thought to be ischemia of the lumbosacral nerve roots secondary to compression from surrounding structures, hypertrophied facets, ligamentum flavum, and buldging discs.

[font style="background-color: #ffff99"]B,NEUROGENIC CLAUDICATION[/font], it doesnt simply relieve with rest alone but gets relieved by change of position like flexing of thigh etc

I agree with your answer, but not the source grin

. Wikipedia isnt something you wanna quote. Very Very helpful, no doubt.. But not quotable..
