I am a 62 year old female. my left side started hurting on Monday, very sharp pain. By Tuesday, the pain was going down my left leg, I could barely bend over. I had an x-ray, blood work, and a urine test, and a cat scan. I was told by the er doctor that all the tests were normal, and that I may have a Muscle problem . Do you have any advise for me ?
Dear Sir/Madam have gone through your query and read your symptoms. In my opinion, the pattern of pain you describe comes from spine following disc prolapse and nerve compression, if it gets relieved by rest and aggregated by motion and coughing, usually an MRI of the LS spine is nowadays gold standard to rule out this problem and to ascertain the diagnosis.I would advise you to see an or tho/ spine doctor and get investigated. I hope that answers your query. If you want any more clarification, contact me back. Thanks Chat Doctor.
