A member asked:
I believe i may have pinched a nerve in my back because when i try to bend over my left leg (knee down) swells, why? and pangs of pain in lower back
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Believe not: Pinched nerves don't cause swollen joints. Whatever it is, it's completely something else. And it's the rare person who never feels "pangs of pain" in the lower back. That's the human condition. It doesn't mean a nerve has been "pinched."
