why is my left leg thumping
Brief Answer:
Needs work up and management
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for getting back to me
Thumping left leg with trauma history needs clinical correlation. The swelling could be a muscle spasm of one side due to postural abnormalities and neurological compressions or it could be some vascular issue and edema. Needs work up and clinical correlation. if raising the leg does not reduce the thumping or swelling, then its likely a muscle issue and correlated with the back pain and nerve compression common after accidents and traumas. Needs to be sorted out after thorough physical exam, neurological assessment in light of MRIs and other baseline work up.
I hope it helps.

Brief Answer:
Need further work up
Detailed Answer:
Swollen legs with normal MRI of back should be evaluated for then local causes like lymphedema, metabolic disorders, some fractures, musculoskeletal issues like ligament ruptures etc. Painful swollen legs is either musculoskeletal or vascular if the nerve entrapment is ruled out with normal MRI . Will need further work up to sort it out.

Hey do you think it could be blood clot
Brief Answer:
Unlikely clots.
Detailed Answer:
A blood clot in the vessels is very very painful and it compromises the lifestyle, so i believe it is unlikely to be the blood clot of the the swollen limbs . Once the work up is completed including work up for vessel patency then the doctors may sort it out.
I hope it helps.
