Dear- I understand your concern and will give you my medical advise.Lumbosacral neuritis is a painful condition . You might have a bulging disc or spinal stenosis, however, it is most likely that is a bulging disc pressing the nerve that is causing this problem. It might be related to the fall, but the most important thing is to have an MRI of that area and see what is the level of damage.Epidural block or as last resource, surgery, should be considered. In term of the knee,Baker cyst sometimes requires surgery to relieve the pain. The numbness of the left knee is from the neuritis and the accumulation of fluid.
