Question 1

Accepted Answer

Yes: It sounds like you have some irritation of  your nerves of the back which may be a radiculopathy (a specific nerve root) or sciatica (several nerve roots that join together into the sciatic nerve).  Your physician can tell by your history and physical which nerve(s) are likely to be involved. Based on that he may recommend an MRI or physical therapy or medications.

Question 5

have had a knee injury waiting on treatment been immobile for weeks. burning sensation on inner left thigh, skin hurts, not red or hot to the touch. left foot has now become cold. cramp like pain in thigh? also have c diff.ideas what this could be?

Accepted Answer

Pinched nerve: The left leg symptoms are characteristic of a pinched nerve at the groin. The coldness of the left foot most likely is a sensation subsequent to the pinched nerve rather than true coldness of the skin. Truly cold foot would be caused by blockage of the artery supplying the foot. I recommend consulting a neurologist for evaluation of your left leg symptoms.

Question 6

i'm using trixaicin for my knee and for a few hours i'm having the worst burning sensation ever i know it's a side effect but its horrible. remedies?

Accepted Answer

Not an easy solution: Burning is a common side effect of capsaicin lotion - if you are having constant pain try go clean some of the lotion off with warm water and soap.  Capsaicin exerts its effects by decreasing the amount of substance P that transmits pain signals to your brain.  Unfortunately, burning may be a reason to not use this medication.
