Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain In The Knee And Thigh
Hi, I started to get this so very severe right leg pain all of sudden about 3 hours ago. It is a shooting pain , like a nerve pain and it comes now since then every minute or closer. It could start from the buttox but the main pain is behind my knee or a little above the knee. There is no position where it is improved.
Hello, I have studied your case and i think that this pain can be due to nerve compression. it is called sciatica. This causes sharp shooting pain in back of thigh. I would suggest you to get spine MRI and that will confirm if there is nerve compression in the spine. I would also suggest you to take Pregabalin M one daily and pelvic traction should be applied. I hope this answer will be useful for you.Let me know if there is any other followup questions. thanks
