Severe leg pain, can’t walk???
Hi! I have a friend who is in her 50s. She has had mild leg pain for the past few years. Now the pain has intensified and she cant put any weight on it!!
Her right leg totally wont support any weight. The pain is from her foot up to her hip. Very intense. She has been to doctors in Eastern Europe, where she lives, but no one can give her a diagnosis or treatment. (She did try physical therapy, but it didnt help at all.)
Any suggestions for a diagnosis? She has had NO injuries, no current life trauma, no digestive, skin or other issues. Her only symptom seems to be the intense pain in her leg. Could this be a symptom of some disease or just arthritis or rheumatoid arthritis? She says that the pain is the whole leg, though, not specifically the joint.
Thanks for the help!!

I highly recommend that she have her Sciatic Nerve checked, to see if it is compromised anywhere.
She will have to have a MRI in order to see anything,as X Rays do not pick up soft tissue damage like that.
The Sciatic Nerve runs from the middle of your back across to both hips, down the thigh and knee, across the shin into your foot and across to your foot to your big toe. I know that this sounds unlikely, but she may have a herniated or ruptured disc in her lower back that is pressing the nerve. I know this because it is exactly what happened to me and we were baffled for a long time because I had no back pain and like your friend no type of trauma. This nerve is so large that when compromised at any point the symptoms can be displaced. My pain started with mild hip and leg pain as well.
I also had all of my pain in my right leg only.
Unless the pressure is removed from the Sciatic Nerve nothing like physical therapy would work. For me, it made it worse. I now suffer permanent Sciatic Nerve damage because it took so long to diagnose my problem that the Nerve was too damaged.
If it is this, I know that your friend is suffering, as there has never been a way I could describe this horrendous pain. Please relate my best wishes and luck!!
You may email me if you have any questions that may help you.
