Hi, My name is Mark. I was hit by a car while walking and by the grace of God I only came out with one broken left forearm fracture and lower lumbar back sprain. However now, I found out I have arthritis after a x-ray. The doctor said it probably was already there but I never noticed the pain until it was aggravated due to the impact and back pain. I have a lot of pain now (only after 1 month of the accident!) going down my left leg down to my ankle which is hurting bad! I put ICY HOT on it for now. I also have darveset for my pain. My question: Has anyone ever heard of Traumatic Arthritis in the leg due to a car accident where initially the point of impact was in one part of the body and not in the area where the arthritis is?
