Need Treatment For Fractured Sacrum And Numbness In The Leg And Pain.
I suffered a fractured sacrum 5 weeks ago and am having numbness in my right leg all the way to my foot and still in pain. I feel like I have a UTI or something also and have developed hemmriods. This was the result of a severe fall and want to know how long will this go on and can a doctor fix me. Please help me.

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns
With such presentations in my clinic, I would like to rule out neurological affection from fracture sacrum by careful neurological assessment and I prefer doing new x-ray CT Scan pelvis.
certain instructions should be followed to help speed recovery:
-bed rest and avoidance of any heavy activity.
-Receiving neurotonics and pregabalin.
-delaying weight bearing.
