What Causes Throbbing, Radiating Pain From Foot To Hip Region?

Hello, I was hit in the back of my right leg about 10 days ago by the chair lift that I was loading myself onto (Skiing)... the entire 4 person chair lift hit my leg before making contact with anyone... it was very painful on impact. I am writing because I just went to the ER because the pain has not subsided... it s actually gotten worse. No bruise ever appeared - which amazes me. But I have a throbbing, radiating achy pain from my foot to my hip... but mainly located behind my right knee and along my right calf and in my right foot. It is painful to walk... They took an X-ray - no break. And they did an ultrasound to look for a blot clot.... they saw nothing. But the pain is just getting more noticeable... and it is not located only where I got hit. It s around my knee. I am limping a bit now... and nervous. I feel like I might have a clot and they missed it... what would you suggest as my next move?

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

Most probably it will be a neuropathic pain due to a prolapsed disc and subsequent nerve impingement. As a first-line management drug like gabapentin can be tried.

If symptoms persist better to consult a neurologist and get evaluated. An MRI scan is required for further assessment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
