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.
Hi Doctor, I am really dipressed due to my right lower leg Pain problem from last 2.5+ years. I tried many doctors but no result. No realving from Pain. Currenntly I am taking a treatment from Neurologist. I did EMG,NCV,MIR-Right leg Nothing have found . what can i do? please help me out
I read your question but I wanted more information from you to give an exact answer. You mention that you did MRI of right leg. Did you do MRI of lower back (lumbar spine)? Sometimes pain in the lower leg might be a referred pain irradiated from lower back even though you do not have any pain in your lower back. If you have not done so, I would recommend you to do the spine MRI and consult with your neurologist.
Also you mentioned that you have taken medication from neurologist but you do not mention the name. Is it Lyrica? Also some more information I would like to know to know is about your pain characteristics. How the pain starts (in rest or activities)/what makes it worse or better? How much lasts the pain? Which is the exact location of the pain? If you provide this information and MRI results, I would be able to help you more.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Edvin Selmani
