Numbness And Feeling Heat On The Leg, Painful Tailbone. Had A Severe Fall. Pinched Nerve?
I have numbness in my right heel and a feeling of heat radiating up my leg. I had a severe fall on my tailbone about 12-13 years ago. Nothing showed up in x-rays, mri, etc. I've had more x-rays since the heat started a few months ago, still nothing shows up. My tail bone is painful but not excruciating. DO seems to think pinched nerves but isn't sure. Would physical therapy help? Thank you.

this is you first episode or repeatedly having same problem
you need methylcobalamine , muscle relaxant with analgesic
take rest , , hot or cold fomentation
avoid lifting weights
sit with taking support to your back

physiotherapy - SWD ,IFT WILL HELP
If pain is not relieved you will need MRI lumbar spine
