How Can Severe Pain In The Leg Be Treated Despite Trying Chiropractic Adjustments And Exercises?

I have an entrapped femoral nerve with chronic severe pain going down the whole front of my leg to my foot. Had chiroparctic adjustments, doing lots of nerve flossing and exercises, now taking Tramadol 50 mg and the pain is still not easing up. This is 7 weeks now 24/7 and started Fathers Day

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hi,

Any nerve entrapment needs to be released. Chiropractic treatment may not help much.

However its very rare for the Femoral nerve to be entrapped. So I suggest you get MRI and NCV Tests to assess the Femoral Nerve.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Gopal Goel, Orthopaedic Surgeon
