I fell a couple of weeks ago and have been in severe pain ever since.. I have been told I have a lumbar disk disease but when I fell my chiropractor said my hips were shifted and Ive been having more pain in my back with the nerves pinching behind my knees but when I walk it hurts cause I can feel something moving and it causes me to be in even more pain
Hi! I can understand your concern! In my clinic when patient visits after having trauma and pain, I advise them:1. The trauma or fall can have injury to disc, if you directly fell on your back.2. If you have pinching sensation behind your knees, the disc is pressing on the nerves and may be causing radiating pain in the nerves.3. Due to disc problem, you may have difficulty in moving your hips.4. Standing and walking will put more pressure on the disc and nerves.5. Please consult an orthopedic surgeon immediately and do an MRI. If the disc is pressing the nerves, i.e. radiculopathy, you may need surgical treatment. It is possible that your earlier Lumbar disc problem has increased with the fall.6. Please consult your orthopedic surgeon again and explain your problems. If the chiropractor had advised treatment, and it is not helping, you should inform immediately. Wish you the best recovery
