What Can Be The Cause Of Debilitating Pain In My Left Leg?

Fell in driveway on left side. CAT scan, bone scan, xrays all show no breaks and no fractures. Debilitating pain in left leg when I try to put weight on it. Pain tolerable, with pain medication if sitting completely still. What could this be? My Dr s seem stumped.

Hello,

As what I see is the scan might be done only for the left side and not for the spinal region.

We need to accept that due to any kind of RTA we can have multiple soft tissue injuries and some are assessed on spot and some come later stages.

The pain in the leg has to be examined - like is it sharp shooting or dull aching. If sharp shooting then a nerve is getting entrapped in the spinal column due to soft tissue compression. If dull aching then it will be muscular and will recover with hot water fermentation.

Please rule out according to about sharp shooting pain and dull aching pain so that you can describe much better which can help your physician to take up the measures accordingly.

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

Regards,
