What Causes Thigh Pain After A Nerve Block Procedure On The Knee?
I had a nerve block on my knee 1 week aho. Two days later, I am having severe pain in my thigh and shin. The shin is better, but not the thigh. I cannot put my weight on my leg. When I do, the pain is unbearable. I am scheduled for another block in 5 days. Can this be related to the nerve block?

Hi,
It is due to minor injuries to the after the block. Nothing much to worry as it will settle in couple of days with conservative measures. As of now analgesics like Aceclofenac/Seratiopeptidase combination can be taken for symptomatic relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
