I have right low back pain, sciatica, which is usually treated and relieved with chiropactic care. Last month it s been down leg around lateral knee, behind knee. Had about 8 adjustments, now it s down in calf. Pain in calf all the time, worse when walking. I can t straighten my knee. Pain along lateral knee is still there intermitently. I walk with limp because of pain. Wondering if I should see MD..not getting better.
Hi you have (R) sciatica, low back pain and numbness along lateral knee and behind knee. You have been taking treatment form chiropractor and feel some benefit. In my opinion you are suffering from Slipped Disc probably at L5-S1 and are having calf pain due to it. I suggest Pain killers muscle relaxants, gabapentin physiotherapy and MRI (to assess the level and amount of disc), If you don't feel relief in 10 days then consult your Or tho surgeon.
