What Causes Pain In The Legs And Knees After A Kyphoplasty?

I broke my L3 2 years ago and my dr did a kyphoplasty. It took me a long time to recover but I now am suffering from debilitating pain on the inside of my legs near my knees. My knees seem fine but the pain feels like it s coming from nerves in that area or from my back.

Hi,

As a first line management you can take an analgesic like Oxycodone or Tramadol for pain relief.

If pain persist, it is better to consult a neurologist and get evaluated.

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