What Causes Leg Pain?.

I have a dull aching pain in my left leg on the left side of my shin bone, have gotten a black and blue mark, and it keeps me from my normal daily routine, and interrupts my sleep, no one can (or will) diagnose me. I am in PT right now, with no results???? Help? My email is: YYYY@YYYY (p.s. my PCP wants to blame it on my accident in 2003 in which I broke my neck/back in an auto accident. I feel this is a separate incident, and I need some relief. Thank you

Hi,

What I understand by the history is this is related to your past medial history of injury to the back. There might be chances of nerve entrapment and needs an attention. Since the pain is in sharp shooting in nature we need to work on it.

Seeing a orthopedist and an X-ray or MRI Will be of good choice to come closer to conclusion. Rest you may be asked to undergo physical therapy for few days for some exercise program post which you can continue at home.

In my practice I have seen many who comes with fresh complaints but they are too connected with the past medical history. Rest assured, you should do well with physical therapy.

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