Suggest Treatment For Intermittent Muscular Pain Spreading Towards The Hip And Upper Thigh
Question: Hi I wondered why an "old" 2013 back injury - fractured or bent all lumbar transverse processors in a high impact fall being bucked off a horse a 50 for the first time giving tours in Yellowstone National Park. The horse spooked at a bear. ?: Why does it hurt now when it has not been an issue before and the deep pain is moving toward my hip and upper mid thigh area like a sore muscle and you want to stretch it but can't get the right angle? Make sense. My left leg is the area and it is now shorter I think then the right? XXXX in XXXXXXX XXXX
