my 20 year old son broke his leg (fibula and they found a cracked bone in his foot) in december 2010, he went thru physical therapy. he has recently started a basketball league again and is experiencing shooting pain through his leg. what may be causing this and what should we do ?
Hello, It may be due to nerve compression at lumbar spine level. For further assessment you may require MRI back, nerve conduction studies after orthopedic consultation. You may require regular physical therapy after physiotherapist consultation. For pain, you can take tablet acetaminophen. You may require tablet Pregabalin after consultation. Avoid forward bending. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Chat Doctor.
