Suggest Remedy For Pain And Tingling In The Right Leg

I fell on concrete steps Monday night. By Tuesday morning left hip and low back in so much pain could hardly walk. X-rays showed no fracture in hip. Wednesday night tingling in right leg and by morning can t put any weight on right leg without stabbing / searing pain from mid thigh to just above ankle on the outside of leg. Can get 2-3 steps only (using cane) before leg buckles out. Seems to be getting worse instead of better. Pain even when sitting and lying down. Tingling in left foot started last night.

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement,  's  Response
Hello,
I have studied your case and I think that you might have acute disc herniation. In this condition there is nerve compression in the back which causes tingling and numbness in whole leg.I would suggest you to get MRI of the spine to confirm this diagnosis.
I would also recommend you to do bed rest and take tablet Pregabalin M in the night. keep pillow below your leg.
I hope this will take care of your pain. let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
