Neurologist,  's  Response
Hello!
I read carefully your question and understand your concern.
I think that the problem you have are caused by a severe damage to the nerves of your leg from the trauma.
This is very common after a shooting wound.
The cut nerve grows up in a wrong way creating a neuroma which is very painful, but it doesn't repair by itself.
I would recommend to consult as soon as possible with a neurosurgeon and do an elecroneurography to examine better the damage of the nerves.
If not treated as soon as possible the chances of good recovery decrease.
Hope to have been of help!
Greetings!
