Joint Pain, Radiating Down To Legs. Symptoms Occurred After An Accident. Underlying Cause?
I am having joint pain and radiating pain down my arms and legs. I also have sharp shooting pain from my thighs to my knee and sometimes down my legs as well. Could I have a form of arthritis that my doctor has missed. However these symptoms did occur s/p auto accident w/right acetabulum fx. But now I am having pain on the opposite side (left side) with burning in my feet as well.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The symptoms that you have described are likely to be due to a nerve root compression ate the level of lumbar spine. A disc herniation is also likely. Mri scan is needed for diagnosis.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
