Question 3

aching in top of left thigh and pins and needles starting in my left foot?no accident or injury at all. starting to get slowly worse?

Accepted Answer

Pain worsening....: Can indicate only one of two things:  a)  beginning of a nerve injury/spinal cord compression at the l-4/l-5 nerve root or you have an arterial blockage (plaque) developing in the upper to mid thigh region that is causing nerve pain in the foot from a lack of blood flow to the foot.  If it feels better when you stand, its most likely vascular in nature; if not, then its spinal in nature!

Accepted Answer

Nerve pain: Sounds like radicular pain, nerve pain.  May be sciatica.  Most LBP is not serious and goes away with time, physio, and simple analgesia.

If any concerns or symptoms persist you should see your doctor.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Not likely!: Uc is associated with an arthritis that can cause what you are experiencing.  It is called enteropathic arthritis, and is a type of spondyloarthopathy. The Remicade (infliximab) should help clearv this up.  Hip arthritis can causes your problem. A routine hip x-ray is warranted.  If your doc has no problem with this, Naproxen or Ibuprofen should help.

Exam needed: Stay calm and get an exam promptly. No need for ER unless symptoms have been prolonged or you have risk factors such as injury, stasis ( immobility) recent operation, recent air travel, family history of blood clotting disorder or personal history, use of birth control or smoking. If you feel short of breath, racing heart rate, or have risk factors, you can go to ER to rule it out

This may require physical therapy to prevent worsening.  You should discuss this with your doctor.
