A member asked:

It started with severe back pain and nummness and pain down right leg, chiroprictor made back better, was pinched nerve. still having pain right thigh?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Leg pain: Your chiropracter helped the muscle pain, but it sounds like something else is going on. I would suggest you see your family doctor, an neurologist or an orthopedist and evaluate further. Nerves can be pinched by many things, including disc fragments, bone spurs and even tumors.
