Could Throbbing Pain In Thigh, Groin And Rear Knee Be Related To The Earlier Fracture?

Hello. 13 months ago I fractured my L3/L4 vertebrae. After bed rest and a stabilizing back brace, I recovered. About 2 weeks ago,I began to notice chronic, throbbing pain in my thigh, groin, rear and knee. (All on the right leg) Is this related to my previous fracture?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.
There is possibility of cord compression due to vertebrae fracture.
You need decompression if fracture is compressing spinal cord.
Decompression is necessary if neurological deficit is there.

If there is no neurological involvement then conservative brace or rest is sufficient
I will advise you MRI spine to confirm diagnosis.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
