Cannot Lift Right Leg
If you have a lumbar herniated disc it should press on the stretched nerve root as your leg is raised above 30.
Cannot lift right leg. Loss of strength in my right leg. Sometimes an area cramps and has an emotional connection. I have to lift my right leg.
Your hip flexors then have less work to do and the reduced muscle force should ease the pain enough for you to raise your bent leg. The only pain I feel is when I attempt to bend. Your inability to lift your leg combined with drop foot could stem from disorders in your brain and spine.
The knee is still very swollen. If you are unable to lift your leg up while its straight or you have difficulty lying on your back take heart. Pain is in the hip and butt area.
Today though I have had. Example getting into a car. After sitting I get up and cant put weight on my leg right.
You dont even need to cut your leg off at the knee--just bend it. I occasionally feel a slight tingling in my foot and toes but never any radiating pain down the back of my leg. In the meanwhile for symptomatic relief.
Try putting my left foot on my right knee to put sock on is so tight and hurts and pushes me back and can not bend forward other leg does not do it. Before 30 the nerve root isnt stretched and its the nerve root stretching in the straight leg raise test that. Since the pain is persistent for 4-5 weeks it needs to be investigated.
