My son is experiencing burning pain in his left hip and the pad of his foot is swollen. He has recently gone through a procedure on his back where rods and wires had been placed into his spine. (Dec. 26 and removed Dec. 30) Should he seek medical attention?
Hi I am Chat Doctor. I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. I think that your son is suffering from some inflammation in the nerves, possibly resulting from the surgical procedure, which has to hold them, so I advise you that initially to get an MRI on back. After that, if the presence of inflammation in the nerves you show to give him anti-inflammatory and multivitamins and painkillers when needed. You may take for a long time but do not worry therapy. Hope the above information helps you, and if you have additional or follow-up questions then please don't hesitate in writing to us.  I will be happy to answer your questions.
