Constant Numbness In Leg Due To Knee Injury While Playing, Severe Pain, On Brace, Difficulty Walking. ACL, Meniscus Normal. Thoughts?
My daughter had a knee injury playing soccer in March of this year. She has had a MRI, X-Ray, Ultrasound, EMG on the knee. The leg is going numb all the time. The pain is so severe she is back in a brace, plus she has had an xray on her back just to make sure it was not her back. We have been to 2 doctors and they can not figure it out. They told us that her ACL, and meniscus is fine. So what do you think, she is 17 years old and she can hardly walk.
