In mid May I had a mishap, my leg lost it’s stability for a moment while on line for a light to change. Some knee pain. Waited 2 dats and rode with a knee support, all was ok but knee pain persisted. Rode the next day and my knee blew up. Within a day I started having pain that I thought was sciatica. A bit of pain in my butt but that has been with me for years after my second back surgery. New was a burning pain going down mostly the outside of my thigh and also my calf. Went to knee doc, PA gave me a cortisone injection to bring down the swelling in my knee. No help. Went back 3 weeks later and the doc gave me a medro pak. Took for a week, not real difference. A week later (which means it was not from the steroid) the burning stopped and I felt ok. On July 3 I rode around the block, all was ok. On July 4 I went for a short 8 mile ride, got home and pain in thigh and calf got very bad but no burning. Have used ice and heat and both offered temporary help. I had an upcoming visit with my pain doc as I was preparing for a RFA (Coolief) treatment in that knee. He thought (and I had researched before) that the thigh pain could be from the IT Band. He was not confident on the cause of the calf pain, knee, back?
Before my Coolief treatment on Friday I went to MA general with a new MRI of my lumbar area. I have known there is a screw that seems to be abutting a nerve and needs to come out. I started physical therapy on Wednesday and the guy killed me but if it would help……. I am doing stretches and hoping the Coolief treatment will address the calf pain as I do not want another knee replacement as the first one I had never seemed to do very well. Better yes but I still have pain and limits. Itching to ride again…… Any thoughts would be appreciated.
