A member asked:
What could the moderate pain be that radiates from the front of my thigh to my knee? i have a history of back spasms but no spinal problems
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sound raducular: Pain radiating down the thigh to the knee suggests an L3 nerve root compression( most likely from degenerative disc or spinal stenosis in your lumbar spine).See your ors for examination, x-rays and possibly an MRI of your lumbar spine. Best of luck!
