Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Painful Leg

I damaged my coccyx and also the bone next to it on the left hand side over a year ago. My left leg is still swollen and very painful. When the cold air gets to it the pain is unreal. I had an MRI and they said my discs were slightly trapping a nerve but this shouldn t cause much discomfort. I m in so much pain.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Dear Sir. Your swelling in leg and severe pain does not look like coming from spine. It appears to be vascular and you may need a Doppler study of your limb to get it clear. Also need to rule out infection.
Thanks.
