I am A 28 year old male and have had a pain in right upper leg since march this year I have been to my GP who had x-ray done for suspected arthritis however that shown up with no arthritis as time has gone on the pain has continued I have taken pain killers for most of this time I have attended emergency dept. twice in connection with on going pain, two x-rays later I have now been told I have a rare condition that only affects people between the ages of 25 and 35 little is known why. I am now waiting to see a specialist in Christchurch who is going to do a consultation regarding this rare condition, I have had A cat scan and a mri scan all within the last week now I am just waiting and would like to know if you shed any more light on this condition.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.
Usually nerve compression cant be seen on x ray you may need MRI for this.
There will be age related spondylitis but if there is any nerve compression then that may need specific treatment.

I will advise you to do MRI spine
Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
