What Causes Knee Pain Along With Numbness All Over The Body After An Injury?

I was in a motorcycle accident a year ago. Tore my mcl, knee derangement, bruising to the bone, ect. I went to have a scope, and they took out the appendix of my knee. It was helping, so I got shots done. Didn t help, so I got the three step shots done. A year later: I was at work the other day when my whole right side went numb from pain in that knee. What could it be?

Hi,

Sudden numbness is caused by nerve stretching or kicking of nerve, if you have numbness in whole lower limb that may be due to nerve compression from spine, and if its below knee then it may be from spine or at knee level. You should take rest, hot water fomentation analgesic, Methylcobalamin with Pregabalin. If numbness and pain does not subside then should go for clinical evaluation and if needed MRI and NCV studies. Get well soon.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Gaurang, Orthopedic Surgeon
