How Can Pain In The Legs Be Managed?
I fell back in November at work, my left leg went between a dock plate and a trailer backed up to the dock. My doctor has released me from his care to go back to driving. I am still having pain in my thigh and in my knee but he says he can not see why. What are your thoughts on this? Thank you.

Hello,
It may be due to some ligament or tendon injury sustained during the fall. You can consult an orthopedician and get an MRI scan done to look for any possible ligament or tendon involvement. As of now you can take analgesics like Ibuprofen or Diclofenac for pain. You can apply Diclofenac ointment for symptomatic relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
