Suggest Treatment For Problem In Walking Due To Severe Pain In Thigh
hi doc. 2 months ago i once noted upon movement of my left leg while sitting down a sudden shooting pain on my inner thigh. i was so in pain that i have to hold my left thigh just to position in back because i might have wrongly turned it. since then i have slight pain in my left thigh when walking. my mother noticed i was walking awkwardly. i searched the internet and it was a positive trendelenburg sign. but when i take pain relievers like mefenamic the pain subsides and somehow i managed to walk a bit straight when theres no pain. i also noticed i cannot do a straight leg raise on my left leg while lying in supine position. when i try to raise my left leg i can see the muscles of my thigh twitching all over like they are not in synchrony.
I have studied your case. Due to compression of nerve root there is pain in your thigh. Another possibility of hip pathology.
I will advise you to do MRI spine and hip after clinical examination. For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started.
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.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.
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.
