Should I Go To The Emergency Room For Intense Pain In Left Leg?
Hello Dr. Grief, I m having pain++in my left leg for a week now. Very intense pain, 8-9 right now. I m receiving treatments from my Chiropractor with no improvements at all...that s how I feel now. I ve also tried acupuncture...made it worst. My family Dr. requesting an X-ray, so I m going there tomorrow. My questions is, should I go to Emergency if there is no improvement at all? Thank you, Eva

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having sciatica due to pinched nerve problem.
Go for x-ray lumbo-sacral region as you might be having osteo-artheritis of spines.
Go for physiotherapy and short way diathermy.
Take B1, B6, B12 capsules or shots.
Take calcium, vitamin A and D supplements.
Ok and take care.
