Posted on Wed, 29 Jun 2016
Question: 3 years ago I suffered a bad fall - head trauma inflicted vertigo, pain in the right leg above the knee and swelling of the feet followed. Vertigo was corrected a month ago, but leg is still sore and constantly cramping now that my mobility is better. Who do I consult about this - is the pinched nerve a possibility?
