Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Severe Pain In The Thigh And Buttocks. Had Spinal Fusion. Have Mild Arthritis. Whom Should I Consult?
I have extreme pain in my right thigh that makes me feel from time to time that the bone is going to break. At this time, I also have pain in my right buttock. The arthritis doctor says that I only have very mild hip arthritis. I just had in November of last year, L4-L5 fusion. My ortho says that he does not think that it is my back. He can not figure what is the problem. What other kind of doctor can I go to, to find out what the problem is. The pain is getting worse, from just when I walk to laying in bed or sitting.
Looking at history of previous surgery at back & continuous pain at thigh ,i shall advice you to consult to a neurologist .This may be connected with compression of nerves.Neurologist will be able to rule out the cause of this pain.
Hope this will help you.
With best wishes.
