Severe Pain In Hip And Shin After Climbing Ladder. History Of Having Diskectomy Due To Badly Herniated Disks. Concerning?
Hello. A year ago I had a diskectomy because I had two badly herniated disks. Have been very careful...at least I thought so. Suddenly, on Saturday I got up and had such pain in my left leg when walking. Mainly in hip and front of shin. Two days prior I climbed a ladder at our home construction and had to lift my left leg pretty high. Could I have done something then? Sitting is fine. Walking is the worst.
