[|Human|] Dec 2011 fell during a structure fire in woods. suffered traumatic injury to left inner and top thigh from landing on chimney and concrete. Assumed I broke my nose bc that s the pain i felt at the time. I suffered a concussion as well. within a couple of hrs my L leg started to hurt. went to plug phone in back at the FD and experience severe sharp pain. checked L leg which presented with two large bruises. within two hr.s I was unable to walk on leg & had sever pain! All Xrays were neg at Urgent care. was sent to Hip Dr. then back Dr. As time went by noticed left big toe had some numbness. I was sent for a Spinal Epidural Injection. I was not comfortable with this but told it would rule out leg ligament injury VS back. 1st shot did nothing, Shortly after the second shot my life change for the worse! Rather sudden low sacroiliac pain from hip to hip. Neurological leg pain now runs from Lt Sciatic to back and side of leg. the worst pain runs from lateral side of leg between the lower thigh to back of calf! have also lost more sensation to big toe. I believe the injection caused damage unrelated to the injury from the fall. The leg is getting worse as time goes by. I have fallen several times do to standing up with the left leg 1st. i was subsequently suffered a very bad fall and head injury do to the weakness. Any idea what could be wrong?
[|AI|]  Hello, I have studied your case. I will advise MRI spine to see for any nerve compression leading to hip and thigh pain. Medication like methylcobalamine with muscle relaxant and analgesic will reduce pain; you can take them consulting your treating doctor. You may consult physiotherapist for further guidance. He may start TENS, or ultrasound which is helpful in your case. I will advise checking your it B12 and it D3 level. As MRI shows disc compressing on nerve root then surgical decompression is permanent solution. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Take care.
