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.
I have severe leg pain. It started round my knee and now travels upward and downward from the knee. It throbs and is the worst when I try to lay down to sleep on my sides. If I lie on my back and put a pillow under my knee. It isn t so bad. It burns, and gets worse each day. What is wrong?
As mentioned the history by you, for me it looks more of the Pinched nerve in the lumbar spine. Undergoing an MRI of the lumbar spine will help provide insight to the extend of the injury to the soft tissue.
Also, 99% of the cases respond well to rest, medication and physical therapy.
Regarding physical therapy - a therapeutic ultrasound therapy, TENS therapy and Exercises - for the core, pelvic floor, spine muscles, hip muscles and lower limbs will help reduce pain and keep you fit for the future aspect.
With the grace of god i wish you a good health
Regards Jay Indravadan Patel
