What Causes Pain In Hip Radiating To Leg After A Fall?
I slipped and fell in January, I am still in pain, have done physical therapy, massages, exercises. The pain radiates from my butt down my leg. I haven t been able to work much. So with this wonderful new health care I have been put on Medicaid. Are there any doctors in my area ... Highland Il, near STL. That will take medicaid and attempt to come up with a solution to get me out of pain? I guess I need an MRI to see what is going on first.
