Question: Pain in right thigh down to knee .I pulled muscle in back two days ago
Brief Answer:
Take rest, pain killer and muscle relaxants
Detailed Answer:
Hello Richardvilla,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
It seems you have got acute lumbosacral radiculopathy.
You need to take rest, avoid stooping forward, lifting heavy objects.
Take pain killer and muscle relaxants for 4-5 days. Apply local pain reliever ointment or spray.
Is there any history of trauma, heavy object lifting or previous disc disease?
Visit a neurologist if symptoms persist for evaluation regrading need for imaging of spine.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Do get back with further queries.
