<s>[INST] My left leg was hurting when I got out of the car. Now it s swelling and a bit numb. Something popped in my right upper leg about two months ago while lifting a heavy weight, been in pain sense then. Had surgery a year and a half a go for two severally hereraged discs. Should I be concerned? [/INST] Hi. The symptoms what you describe could be if local strain. I would recommend frequent icing...compression bandage...gentle kneading around the painful area...mild foam rolling on the area is also advisable... For left leg.the issue could be some inflammation locally causing swelling and this swelling in-turn causing numbness. Keep icing it frequently and keep it compressed witChatDoctorpression bandage... If you have any Anti-inflammatory medications prescribed previously for you then you can have them. Continue core and glute stability exercises taught to you before... Hope this is helpful for you...Revert in case you need any further clarification... </s>
