Question:

Hi,

My problem is whenever a white liquid comes from my penis pain starts in my legs and in my knee especially. My legs are getting weaker. Can you help me?

Answer:

Pain in the leg can be caused by a nerve in the lower back being pinched, such as from a bulging or herniated disc in the spine. Just prior to ejaculating, you experience orgasm which causes your entire body to tense with pleasure. This tension can increase the pressure on a nerve, which results in pain. The actual nerve being pinched can be determined by where the pain is being felt (which side of the body, which side of the leg, and location on the leg).

The first order of business is determining where the pinch is occurring. A physical therapist or a chiropractor can both help in locating the problem and coming up with an action plan that will promote healing. If that doesn’t work, then you may decide you want to see a neurosurgeon in order to see if he can do something about the pinch.
