Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Severe Pain And Red Blotches On The Legs Despite Using Oxycodone?
I have been suffering with what my doctor thinks is a pinched nerve. Have had severe pain and cramping in my leg for over a week. Am scheduled to go an MRI tomorrow. I have been using a heating pad on area of pain in my buttock area and soaking in Epsom salts to Eli ease pain. This evening while bathing I noticed some red blotches on my buttock and leg. Doctor has me on oxycodon for pain. What could these red blotches be?
Hi the pinched nerve needs to be checked out by an MRI and nerve tests.The red blotches most probably were caused by local skin irritation from overexposure to heat and soaking in Epsom salt.Please discontinue this and you will find the skin reaction better. Meanwhile continue on your oxycodon and pain medications available with you till you do the MRI which will reveal the cause of your pain.
