What Causes Pain In Between The Hip And Knee?

I am having pain in my left leg between my hip and knee. It started Wednesday night while asleep. The pain woke me up but I just changed positions. Thursday morning my leg felt sore and heavy. It s been hurting ever since. I had pain in my calf and now up to my buttocks area. It feels most like a deep bruise with a burning sensation. I have fatigue and I feel like I can t caught my breath. Should I be concerned?

Hello,

I have studied your case.
Due to compression of this nerve root there is pain in your knee and achillis.


I will advise you to do MRI spine
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.

You may need to consult orthopaedic surgeon.
