Is Pain In The Left Hip Affecting The Back, Left Knee And Ankle A Serious Concern That Needs Immediate Attention?
Question: Pain on left hip seems to affect left back, also left knee and left ankle. Is there a muscle involved that affects all these areas?
Brief Answer:
Pinched nerve more possible.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have read your question and understand your concerns.
There are different muscles and tendons in hip, knee, and ankle, so, a muscle involved in such pain is very unlikely.
This kind of pain and its distribution are mainly caused by a pinched nerve (herniated disc, spondylosis, etc.) as the nerve exits the spine.
So, please discuss with your Doctor about getting evaluated further and treated in this direction.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Take care.
