Pain is one of the most notable symptoms of a leg injury. Right leg or left leg pain after a car crash likely indicates some type of injury to the bones or soft tissues of your legs. Examples of the pain you may experience in your legs include:
Pain that burns – You may feel a burning sensation in the back and front of your leg or the site of the injury.
Sharp pain when you use your leg – For example, you may feel pain when you put weight on your knee or ankle. Shifting your weight around could also be painful. The pain could be especially pronounced when you stand up.
Shooting pain – This could be an indication of a sciatic nerve injury, as the pain is shooting down your legs, which is where the sciatic nerve runs.
