nerve and leg pain

by jackdon, May 14, 2009 08:43PM

Tags: leg pains, nerve, legs, knee

I am experiencing pain in my right leg that feels like nerve pain. it travels from my right buttocks, down my thigh , the back of my knee and down to my ankle. My knee was twisted about 8 weeks ago while playing tennis, My body turned but my knee did not, and I collapsed to the ground. ??Any ideas?
Please advise!!

No swelling- I did ice it and wore a brace for a few weeks. It helped, but now the pain is back.
Thanks
Don

To: Dear Jackdon,

You are compressing your sciatic nerve, most probably it is a Sciatic nerve pain. Follow up near an orthopaedician and assess the damage you have done to the bone, tendons and ligaments and go for the treatment.
Take some anti inflammatory drugs to start with.
Take care!
