Question 1

extreme pain in lower back.  radiates down left leg.  er visit xray shows no bone problem.  pain medication works little if any.  difficulty walking.

Accepted Answer

A few possibilities: None of these show up on X-ray: disc or ligament injury, pinched nerve due to disc or vertebral dysfunction, nerve inflammation, muscle spasm, or several other causes of sciatica-type pain in the back &amp; leg.A good history &amp; phys. incl osteopathic hands-on exam may provide some answers.Manipulation can solve several of these causes.MRI may be needed if reflexes/strength are diminished.

See a doctor: An x-ray will show if heir a displaced fracture.Not moving and splinting a fracture prevents further injury.

Rheumatologist: Need complete evaluation for source of inflammationand weakness and then treatment options. Do not wait as your muscles will atrophy and make function worse and rehab longer

Nerve/tendon: It sounds like a nerve or tendon problem.  Shooting pains more from a nerve.  It definitely needs further evaluation from a podiatrist.

Question 6

i have been suffering leg and back pain since last 6 days.even i cannot walk.is it kidney infection or back bone problem? no swelling on any part .

Accepted Answer

Radiculopathy?: Sounds like lumbar radiculopathy, possibly due to a disc disease / herniation.  Ct or MRI study may answer the question.

Question 7

hello, i was lifting a weight from the floor and hurt my back.i immediately felt a sharp pain and tightness. afterwards noticed i had difficulty walking. its been about 3 days now and still feel a little stiffness. issue?

Accepted Answer

: Yes, Issues.  Supposedly "minor Injuries" like this can become a major 'issue' as one gets older. OTC pain relief, Back support belt and a visit to PCP or Urgent Care for imaging studies to be sure no nerve entrapment or disc slips have occurred. And if so attend to it before it becomes chronic.

Question 8

i have pain in my pelvic bone. it is painful to walk. it makes my hips and spine ache. help please?

Accepted Answer

See you doctor: You need to be evaluated by your doctor, a hands on examination will be needed to accurately diagnose what's causing your symptoms.

Question 9

is it possible that lower back pain or injury lead to any difficulty walking fluidly?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Pain usually causes the muscles to spasm and tighten up. This can really limit your ability to walk normally.

Question 10

i am experiencing  ankle pain and difficulty walking.it is really painful to touch or even move. i havent  had an injury so not sure why it hurts

Accepted Answer

Injury: If there was truly no prior injury, the pain could be due to gout, or pseudogout (both metabolic conditions). But many people don’t recall how or when they sprained their ankle bc it was a mild sprain at the time that hurt more later. If pain continues, I’d recommend getting an X-ray and evaluation from an urgent care center or better yet a board certified orthopedic specialist.
