A member asked:
I got hurt at work my lower back with severe pain in my legs and on left knee appears red blotches what is it caused from?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doctor can evaluate: A lower back injury with resultant legs pain usually means there is pressure and irritation of the nerves coming out of the spine. Nerves also come from the spine to the skin, so there may (or may not) be a relationship to the red blotches. The worker's comp doctor can check to see if the blotches are work-related, and if so, refer to a dermatologist or primary care doctor who does worker's comp.
