How Is Knee Pain Radiating Towards The Hip Treated?

Last night i went to bed and I had pain from my left knee all the way up to my hip on the outside left leg. A deep pain. I couldnot walk or lay down since I hurt so bad. I was almost in tears. I finally found some pain salve and applied liberally and it eased up after about 10-15 min. I woke up again about 1 a.m. starting to hurt pretty bad and put more medication on the leg. Today, I have had some pain, but have also had some pain in th left groin area and it seems like the pain is situated also somewhere around the area of y kidney. What should I do?

Hello,

I have studied your case.

Due to compression of nerve root there can be pain in your hip to knee.

I will advise you to do MRI spine and if required MRI hip.
For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started.
Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.


Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care
