By Denise Lynn Mann

My knee hurts when it is bent in case of sitting for long or mostly when my knee is folded and disappears when it is straight.

i feel it is kind of blood flow or something else, also i have noticed that it does not happen for months if i do some exercises, physical activity.

I have been getting this very severe pain in my right knee when I drive. It comes on pretty quickly and once its there is does not go away until I get out of the car and start walking around. It also does not always occur, but lately more so than not if I drive at least an hour.

I also had this weird thing happen to my right foot last night. I was in the kitchn cooking all day (on my feet) and then sat down for dinner with family. When I got up it felt like there was a giant ball on the bottom of my foot, top outer ball section. I felt it and it was a alrge lump and I could barely walk. It's still there now (12 hours later) but not narly as bad.

Not sure if these are related but both are very perplexing and painful. Any thoughts?

My husband and I are both having problems with out legs. He has pain and swelling from his ankles to his knees. His feet have quadrupled in size. His job requires him to be on his feet all day which just makes all his symptoms worse. It's like pulling teeth trying to get him to go to the doctor, but this is bothering him so much he's planning on going today. We'll see...

I, on the other hand, have been to the doctor and been told I have fibromyalgia and along with that come other things...For instance, irritable bowel syndrome. I also have sciatica and arthritis in my lower back.

For about 2 weeks, my left foot has been numb , however, the top half of my left leg hurts and feels heavy and weak. Is that related to my pinched sciatic nerve? Does anyone know what might be wrong with my husband or myself? There have been so many people dieing around here. Young people..
It's scary!

I just started getting pain in my left front thigh, knee, and calf. Then tonight as I've been lying in bed, my right thigh started hurting. If feels like they're badly bruised (I was limping for some time at work this evening), however there are no physical signs of bruising.. and I would remember running into something that hard. I bartend and spend about 50-60 hours/wk on my feet. Related?

Some here have mentioned malnutrition. I have been bulimic for about 4 years, and constantly take weight loss/appetite suppressant pills from GNC.. but I supplement them with multivitamins.. Just trying to make sure I don't have some crazy clogged artery or something that will cause me to just drop one day. Any thoughts?

Phyllis and for others,
After hree months of excruiating pain in knees and running from by thights to feet I may have found an answer to one of my problems. My legs and knees swelled with Baker's cysts behind and in front of knees. I have been to Rheumatologist (ruled out RA), Internal Medicine doctor, Pain Management doctor, and finally yesterday (at my request) an orthopaedist. The ortho believes the membranes in both knees are torn. An MRI on Monday may confirm this. I have experienced the jerking, crawling feeling in both legs. Ortho said compression on nerves can cause this He said it would be unusual to have bi-lateral tears but possible.
The onset was sudden after having fusion of two fingers (oesto). I was on pain meds after that surgery and in spite of some knee pain pushed forward exasperating the problem with knees until they exploded. The meds masked the damage I was doing to the knees!
Since the pain was bi-lateral the other doctors did not think knee tear.
So I am hopeful for solving the problem with knees.
Phyllis, you mention pain at finger tips when cold. I have Raynaud's syndrome. If your fingers get blue between the the two middle joints, feel numb at the ends, then are suddenly painful (it is the blood returnig to the tip), it could be Raynaud's. It is not rare but should be mentioned to Rheumatologist. I have several mild issues of the immune system family.
I am hopeful. Everyone keep searching. Write down everything, ALL symptoms, ALL tests, even if not seemingly related. Hand it, along with any medical records, blood tests, etc to all of your doctors. Be proactive without anger.
My pain has been so severe I found myself looking up amputation as an answer on the net. Pain will make you crazy. Pain will radiate from an injured body part to every cell, including your scalp. Serious pain management is necessary for a while to get you out of the pain loop. Consider a pain management doctor. Keep searching everyone.

I feel that everything hurts me. My thighs in the front ache, it's hard to walk and my legs are weak.The other night my knee had been hurting and swelling, so mu husband put an ice pack on it and this caused my right leg to jerk for a very long time. I have had numerous surgeries on my joints (rotator cuffs, trigger fingers,spinal injections),the top of my scalp is painful if touched, which is weird. When I hold anything cold (freezer items) my fingertips have pain. I get so dizzy that I throw up and feel as if my balance is off centered. I am miserable and even though I have been to several doctors I am still in pain with no relief in sight and I'm tired of surgeries. I am not crazy, but feel as if I will be headed that way. What type of doctor should I see? Maybe I am going to the wrong ones. I do not know.

If you drink coffee or have any other source of caffeine, get off of it. It steals your vitamins from you, it dehydrates your muscles and joints, to aching.

Next there are lots of additives in the man made foods. Get off of that stuff. Eat what God made. Raw fruits and veggies are the best. You can put a bunch of them in a blender and drink them.

Aspartame is a chemical added to drinks and food. You don't want to eat that...

What we eat is hurting us and killing us.

our bodies need care, and it starts with health. don't think you can eat or drink anything and be healthy. educate yourself in health.

eat lots of fruits and veggies that will clean out your system.

Medications?, again educate yourself. You can study the drug and the food and pick what you want to put in your body.

Get healthy, get nutrition, your body is crying out for it.

just like if you don’t take care of your car, it wont last long, either will you last long if you don't take care of you.

don’t forget God, He is health. He is your Dad who wants to help you, but you have to call HIM. His number is 463 4357 63 (God help me) His line is never busy, He always has time. His wisdom will heal you. so much of the time we look for a magical zap, but we fail to realize we have a part in our sickness, or other failing issue. God will give you the answer, then you have to partake, such as eating healthy.

hello all well were do i start i have had pain in my legs since i was 5 i would cry because it would hurt so bad. It bothered me in school home playing but not all the time would it be so intense. it always seemed to be at night it was worse when i was trying to rest. as i got older i then started having pains in my back and neck. I started seeing a chiropractor and he would manipulate my back and i would feel no different. the pain got so bad in my neck that he tested with a very sharp wheel and found that 3 of my fingers were numb. he sent me to the emergency room and told me to tell them i needed an MRI of my neck. they found that i had 2 herniated disk. i ended up having surgery that helped for about a year and then the problems started again. the first surgery they just removed the disk material away from the nerves the second time they took the disk material out and put bone marrow in. I was in more pain ever since that surgery and have never been able to work again. I was 30 at the time. I have pain from head to toe and take dilaudid 4mg 4x a day, percocet 5mg 3x a day, lyrica 2x a day for fibromyalgia and muscle relaxers and that just takes the edge off the pain.i am now 45 years old. i have to sleep in a recliner because there is only one position that I can sleep in that takes the pressure off my neck. I have lost all the hair on my legs and i have numbness down both arms and my legs. I will be walking and i will go to put my right foot down and i will have no feeling and i fall. i fell down my stairs from about 3/4 of the way because of this. my fingers will lock up and just recently my toes lock up and i have intense pain down my right leg. I have seen doctors to try surgery again but no one will do it not even john Hopkins who we sent my records to. they said there is nothing they can do because scar tissue and bone spurs will just continue to happen and they wont keep going back to fix it because they would be doing it every 6 months. i just learned from my younger sister that a lot of this could be genetic which could be a connective tissue disorder called marfan syndrome or ehlers danlos syndrome. these disorders are passed on from generation to generation and include heart, lung, and other problems besides. Some of u that have had leg pains since a young age might want to look at your family history and see if the symptoms you and family members have are caused by this. my mom had pains in her legs back lung problems emphysema, and then she had a heart attack so bad that even if there was a team of doctors there they would have never saved her she was 44. Her mom died of a brain aneurysm at 47 and her dad of lung cancer he was 77. My 2 uncles died of emphysema and one of them never smoked. If your problems started when u were young check this out and talk to a geneticist. I am just getting started with one but my younger sister just found out that she does have a connective tissue disorder they just don't know which one yet. Also for people who have back problems whether you just started or have been disabled from back problems for years there is a fairly new surgery were they can make 2 small insisions and repair all the problems from scar tissue to bone spurs herniated disk detereated disk and they have a 93% sucsess rate. They are the laser spine institute in philadelphia , pa. and also in florida. i think they just opened a new one but not sure wwhere. check them out at laserspineinstitute.com or google it. i hope some of this information help some of u. God bless.

stop drinking coffee, I did and most of my pain is gone., it leeches calcium, and magnesium from your bones, and makes you feel like you have fibromileaga. it worked for me.

I have been experiencing leg pain mainly in my calf for a few yrs. It will only start hurting if it gets too cold or if I walk on a cold floor with no socks and hurts for hours. I thought it may be arthritis but after reading this article I'm unsure bc the pain is still there even after walking it just hurts more.

I've got OA and RA, plus an injury to my left ankle that results in the left foot/ankle swelling up when I'm on my feet for more than a few hours. A couple of years ago, I had a bad do with my left leg. Ironically, it was due to overdoing it when a friend had a fall and despite not being badly hurt, made a dreadful fuss and had myself and my husband dashing around after her. my left leg became very swollen, I couldn't weight bear on it, couldn't put my shoes on, and the pain was excruiciating. Since then, my left foot and ankle plays up much more than the right and I'm now wondering if that episode left me with permanent arterial damage.
The friend is now an ex pal, she made a pass at my husband whilst I was incapacitated!!

Most of the cramping and leg pain are due to lack of the minerals Magnesium and potassium both of which are easy and cheap to fix. Some medications for hypertension etc. can deplete the body of thes minerals.
For the potassium just eat a small banana daily, for Magnesium get Magensuim Flakes ( not the oil it is too expensive and you can make your own) Look Magnesium on the net on the net and buy in bulk from 2 kilos up to 5 kilos which will last you a year, or from companies who supply Food Ingredients to food processors/bakers or any company who adds Vitamins to food and breads etc.
To use and make megneesium oil mix a 50/50 with hot water,1 cup of water to 1 cup of flakes in a bowl/basin large enough to fit both your feet, let the water cool and soak feet in it (while watching TV/ Reading a book as long as it is relaxing for at least 1/2 hour, more is good. Your body will soak up the Magnesium like a sponge.(To use as an oil have a few cheap stray bottles handy, one in the shower, one by the side of the toilet and one on the hand basin in the bathroom) Do this every night before retiring and use Magnesium as ofter as poss during the day like as a deordant, toilet wipe after using the loo, spray on body after showering NOT IN THE EYES though, spray a little on the palms of hands to cool the down in summer, on your tooth brush with your paste to clean teeth and help gums.
This is a powerful mineral, but it must be Pure Flakes and not tampered /processed in any way ( why you make your own oil) be it in tablet or powder form. You can take a small pinch ( as you would salt) in a small amount of cool NOT ICE COLD water and down fast as it tastes awful follow with a glass of water, it may give you a painless softer than usual motion. Just continue with the feet, wipes,deordent and shower spray, you CANNOT have too much Magneesium like vit. C More is best. My hubby and I have been using it every day for 5-6 years as you would soap.Good luck

I have Osteoarthritis in my left knee. However the pain is behind my knee and usually always in my upper thigh sometimes all the way up to my hip. It feels like it's in the muscle. Can this be something else causing the pain? I have had exray but no MRI. I've had 3 gel injections that helped for about 3 months. I'm so afraid of knee replacement and wanting to try anything else first.

Most of you sound like you should be under the care of a physician, and yet you don't indicate this. I have been seeing my GP--who keeps up with all the tests needed when I have my check ups. Then I go to the Pain Clinic in Albuquerque and see a marvelous doctor who used to give me cortisone shots every two months.

Then I had an outpatient operation called MILD, which stands for minimally invasive lumbar decompression. Now I can walk pretty decently, but need a walker due to a lack of balance, I am using a cane in the meantime. This operation also allowed me to straighten up quite well, which I could not do before.

I still have lots of pain so I take GABAPENTIN to manage it, And I cannot carry a thing in my arms, in the front of my body, so I can't pick up my grandson.... This hurts. I also used to hike for miles.... But, we all have to make up our minds to "feel well," in spite of it all: We could be so much worse!! Good luck and best wishes,

In 2008 I had scoping of my left knee possible meniscus tear. Surgery proved that to be negative. A baker's cyst is in fact present in the back of my knee since that time. Over the past 2 months the pain in the back of my knee has now radiated to my calf; feels like a throbbing pain. I'm a walker but cut down due to the pain. During activity the throbbing gets worse with a tightening along w/ swelling to my knee. Feels as though I have a lot of pressure in the back of my knee causing the throbbing feeling. Can't sleep since it is uncomfortable. Tried warm & cold packs, anti-inflamatories, soaking, elevation but all w/o success. It is driving me insane. Specialist only took xrays which proved no signs of abnormalities in the knee. Diagnosed me w/ at first with syatica then switched to a calf muscle strain. Personally I think he is incorrect on both diagnosis as I also think an MRI or CT scan would have been more sufficient in detecting any possible injuries. He was disinterested in the baker's cyst, having nothing to say of it. Today I tried Bayer aspirin to help w/ the throbbing pain & pressure (took 2 325mg aspirins) & much to my surprise I've found some relief, more so than any other time. My concern/worry although I am not w/ family history of heart (only uncle on maternal side) could this be an issue of a possible blockage in my leg? DVT or PAD? I am not obese, my cholestrol was a little high, B/P has always been on the low but I do admit I sweat heavily when exercising (walking) w/ some out of breath moments. The discomfort/pain/throbbing/pressure doesn't get better while walking it increasingly gets worse. Any thoughts?
Thanks.

I have been diagnosed with arthritis (orthopedic specialists) in my left hip and both knees. I had a cortisone shot in my hip – the relief lasted not quite 2 weeks. I can’t have another one for 3 months. I can hardly walk, I tend to lose my balance and fall forward. I have always enjoyed attending my grandchildren’s sports games. It is so painful that I can’t wait to go home. I am always cold – when everyone in the house is hot I am freezing. I have tried walking and it gets worse. Could this be PAD? I am a diabetic; I have high blood pressure (under control with medicine) and high cholesterol. I have tried cholesterol lowering medicine and I get cramps in my calves so severe I have to hang on to furniture to stand up. Any suggestions?

Every time I stand for more than 30 minutes or walk for about 15 minutes, my legs hurt but after resting awhile I feel better. I try to take pain pills with no change. Am 37 could I possibly have PAD.

Katelyn

02 Apr 2011, 16:22

Can PAD also cause weird bruising in that same leg that is causing trouble? I am only 18 but I am very active and it is just the one leg that has been causing me a lot of pain when I go running and has all of the symptoms listed above for PAD. I have also noticed that lately I have been getting unexplained bruising in that same leg. The bruises usually last a while, but then go away after about a month or so, then a little later another appears in a different spot. I will go to a doctor if it keeps happening, but I still would like to have some sort of clue as to what is going on.

Last winter, my teen daughter’s right hip began to feel sever pain that she cried after sitting in front of her computer for hours. Since all her MRI and X-rays seemed to be all right, I blamed her for doing too much computer work, and suggested her to go swimming. Unfortunately, my daughter doesn’t like to swim. She claimed that she had had the similar pain several years ago just for a short while. Meanwhile her clinical physical therapies and Glucosamine don’t seem to help her, now both of her hips feel hurt frequently, and she limps.

I am so desperate for your advice.

Hi, I'm a track girl in highschool I do distance and I did cross-country in the fall. Now all the sudden when I am running the same workouts or just run that I did for crowscountry I'm slower and in more pain. The pain that i am in includes my calf or shine I can't really tell the difference between them. And I had knee problems during cross-country that I had to wear kneebraces for. I don't wear the braces for track because they don't bother me all the time, just when I run hills. But because of my shines/calfs I can only run like a block at a time. Then I have to walk for a while. But during cross-country I ran 5 miles at a time. Why am I having shine/calf problems? Could it be radiating pain from my knees because they haven't completely healed just stope hurting?

I have had both knees replaced and revisions on both. The last one was done in 2006. Last year (1/25/10), I developed a pain in my back (left side,)that radiated to my ankle.
I was diagnosed with an inflamed disc pressing on a nerve. I have had to walk with the use of a walker since, now to date(3/6/11, with no improvement. A few weeks ago I started having swellings in both ankles with unbearable pain radiating from my ankles up half ways to my knees on the bone (fibula I think) of both legs. It is tolerable in a sitting position, but cannot sleep in a lying down or legs extended position. When I explain it to my orthopedic Drs, they xray the joints of the knees and ankles, but never the bone where the pain is and diagnose it as arthritis. NSAIDS make my stomach hurt with extended use and the pain medications do not help the pain.

Hi, i am in need of some help. My legs, lower back and hips hurt me all the time but my legs ache and hurt the worse. I am in alot of pain all the time i dont want to walk to get anything done and when i do chores i rush to get them done so i can hurry to sit back down. Sometimes when can see movement in my legs like a musle or something. I suffered with a PE in my left lung last year and was put on blood thinners but i am no longer on them. I think i may have PAD but im not sure my doctors dont seem to take me seriously and i just dont know what to do anymore. They just ache and hurt all the time. Now my back does cause me lots of pain because i have 3 ruputured discs but i dont think thats the problem idk? I do not take any pain meds because afraid of getting addicted. Can someone plz help me with this issue... im only 32 and i dont want to live like this forever... Thanks!

my legs and my hands hurt anytime it is cold or when it rains.it started last year in august and now it getting worse.i dnt know what is wrong with me but recently i pass lots of urine and it very salty and sour.please what is wrong with me

Rebecca, please help

03 Mar 2011, 07:06

Ok so I'm only 14 and my pain has been happening since I was like 6. It's the worst feeling in the world and it only happens when my foot feels cold, but not everytime I'm cold. It's could be either calf and foot, the pain is unbearable, and when I get it in school it can be very disruptive for me. I always thought it was of some aspect normal because my mother never took me to the doctor for it but just told me to apply icy-hot to it, which takes away the pain. But I am not looking forwad to always putting icy-hot on my foot everytime it's in that condition, I'd rather know what I can do to prevent it. I don't think it's diabetes because I hardly eat sweets. And I'm too young to have anything seriously wrong with me. Please help if you might have an understanding of whats going on.

For the past 2 months I have been having pain in my right ankle (it comes & goes). Naturally I'm thinking some form of arthritis. I am now having pain that feels like shin splints (have not injured leg or strained). I have very tender spots around my knee with some swelling. Pain also in my calve area and alittle swelling around ankle. It hurts more if not using leg and its not getting better. Heat/cold application no help. X-ray normal. What is wrong with me. Family hx of leg issues and RA on both sides.

OMG i been reading some of these comments and some sound just like i have been... my story: early 20's i got heel spurs and plantar fasciitis, i got 5 injections and a year of physio it took 2-3 years to go down but can still play up when walking heaps. i was on bruffen for 15 years and then they stopped it about 4 years ago. then soon after i stopped taking them i started to get pain in back hip knee ankle and foot. Recently i demanded the dr do something i have had many xrays, ct, ultrasounds in the past years the Dr's have said im a drug seeker or they give me mini mentals cause im depressed from time to time probley the pain or im snappy when they say have panadol. in the last 3 weeks i have been diagnosed PVD with stenosis of 75% left and 50% to the common ilica arterys, i have poor muscels in the gluts and left leg i have hammer toes i have athritis in the MTP joint and flat feet. i have been getting pins and needles numness and discolouring in the feet. im now going to physio for back Sports Physiotherapist said the ilium is moving due to poor muscles tone hence pain in the back and hip, padiotrist strapped my arch and it helped alot... the pain in the back and hip and im walking with out a limp now that was with only one week of strapping, most of the pain in ankle is still there at night tho still awaiting on test xray, ultrasound are all good no abnormality is noted tentons are good no ganglion synovial thickening or futher pathology noted. awaiting to see the dr again to see if they can find what is wrong.. but dont give up guys keep looking because it affects your whole life i dont sleep more the 2 hours at a time the pain is hard to describ i call it my tooth ache in my legs lol... i hope any one can help here or i hope to help others if i didnt complain i wouldnt even know i had PVD even tho a xray said about 3 years ago to look at my aortic artery and i have had high cholestrol for 4 years now.. was on tablets once then they took them of me after a few weeks.. why DR's do that i dont know... my advise find a Dr that is going to get to the root of the problem. my tooth ache in my ankle is still as bad as before im so tired of it so so tired of pain

in 1993 i started getting a dull ache in my left ankle, it usually kept me up at night. Over the years the pain has moved up to my calf, then my knee, then my thigh and now its in my left buttock and up into my left side. it prevents sleep, its not as painful as it is annoying. When the sensation starts it starts with a crack in the ankle then it will move up my leg and butt. I try and explain this to people and also three doctors. They have ruled out restless leg syndrom because its only one leg. When it happens i just want to cut my leg off. It used to only bother me at night but now i have what i call "dead leg" 24 hours a day. I'm beyond frustrated. I need help

I have been experiencing pain in my knees, that will go down to my calfs on both of my legs. I cannot sit, stand, lay down, bend my knees, walk, go up and down steps without causing pain with each and every step I take. Furthermore, I have tried soaking in the tub, heat pads, taking pain pills but nothing works and nothing so far has eased pain. Can someone help me and tell me what is wrong with me? Because, I feel like I am losing my ability to move around freely and I feel like I am going to need a wheel chair in order to get around if this keeps up.

My right ankle and up my leg about 10 inches or so is killing me when I walk. It just started one day and I find if I elevate my leg the pain subsides. I can not keep my leg elevated all the time as i am a caregiver and very busy. I have had to obtain a cane to walk with because the pain is so terrible or otherwise I could not walk at all. What do I need to do about this? Is it PAD or circulation? I have enlarged verocoise veins in my footand ankle area.

Umm... I don't understand anything because Im only 11 and turning 12 on the 19th of this February, at first the pain started at field day at school, so I thought that it hurt cause of the running, and all then other games/sports. I am a bit overweight for my age. The next day nit still hurt. I can't walk, run, sit, stand up, go up and down the stairs and it hurts so much! I'm guessing that all the running I did the next day at school didn't help? What's worse is I can't stand for long without pain. My knees hurt so much! Tomorrow Im getting it checked but before that any help?

I have been having an aching pain from my hips to my ankles at night. I toss and turn all night. If I lay flat it doesnt hurt as bad but I usually dont sleep on my back. Once I'm up and walking around for a few minutes it then subsides. This has been going on for awhile but lately getting worse. I dont know if its age related (I'm 44), the bed, work (I'm an ER Nurse)?

Wow I can not believe so many of us have leg pain! I've been looking into toxins, where they are. What are they doing to me and all of us? Think about it we are hurting from something. Do research on toxins in our foods,toxins in mostly all products you can think of from plastic to beds which are all biggies. I have been sick off and on, mostly all the time for 15+ yrs. I got tired of it and started researching why. Someone told me about alternative medicine which led me to look into the toxins in food first, then into environments. They all make my legs,hands,arms,my whole body ache, toxins that is. Most recent is my toxic bed. Now looking for a new one that is safe to breath on!I also think I may have some blockage in my leg at the same time. I got up one day 1 1/2 yrs. ago with a itchy leg and then turned black and blue from scratching. Then it began to hurt and has not stopped since and seems to be getting worse. Doc says nothing is wrong. I do not believe her. I have to find out what is wrong before something bad does happen. Good luck to us all in this.

*IMPORTANT*
Plavix keeps the platelets from sticking, but damages the bottom of the heart. 1) Mix 1 tsp. Apple Cider Vinegar w/ 1 tbl. of Honey to clean arteries like a baby. 2) Order Circulation Solution from www.healthresources.net in AL. It does wonders! My Dad had PAD and was on a medication for circulation. I do all natural NO drugs. Email me if I can be of assistance.

Wow....I am an LPN and I can't believe the answers another LPN has posted here! Telling someone, or assuming that a persons pain in the bone is from their previous hx of ca is ridiculous and far out of your scope. Just because your late husband was unfortunate and this happened to him, does not mean that is what is wrong with that womans husband! We are NOT trained and are NOT allowed by law to make assumptions/dx whether from experience or maybe from CE courses. That comment just blew my mind when I read it! Please, please do not listen to people like her...go see someone that is educated and legally allowed to make a diagnosis!! In Arizona, that comment and assumption she made could cause her to lose her license....so ridiculous!! Those are the nurses that need to keep their opinions, because that is all they are, to them selves!

Juli

29 Aug 2010, 00:34

Well, I see no medical person has answered your complaints. I am a nurse---an LPN. I'll try to help you figure out what's causing your leg pain. I"m not supposed to diagnose, or treat, but I can tell you what it sound's like based on some of my patient's diagnoses and some of my own leg problems.
When you have pain behind the knee, it's bursitis. Sometimes it can be on kneecap or one that bone under it.ANd it can get swollen up and need to be drained.
Pain starting in the buttocks or back and going down the leg is sciatica
Chronic pain on the head of the hip bone which really hurts when you lie on that side is bursitis---trochanteric bursitis. Sometimes a hot whirlpool and Phy Therapy helps.Also, this kind of pain can go down the side of that leg , adn it's called bursitis of the isheal-tibial band, which is a long, wide, tendon that goes down the side of your leg from your hip bone to your ankle.
Diaetes can cause foot and leg pain. It's called diabetic neuropothy. It means the nerves in your legs hurt.
A warmth , swelling adn redness of your leg could mean a blood clot.Go to your Dr. right away , or to the ER .
To Janet, the lady who's husb has lung cancer and now bad pain in his legs. The cancer has prob gone to his bones. That's what happened to my late husb . His bladder cancer had gone to his bones, and it never occured to his Drs, till he had to ask for a bone scan himself.
Pain on the bottom of your feet can be planters facsitis.Sometimes putting a leather arch or padding in your shoe helps. ANd getting those running shoes that have springs in teh heal portion really helped a friend of mine. I suggested that he get them, and it gave him his life back
Pain on the inner part of your shin is shin spints, that comes from running, or fast walking, or a start and stop twisting type of walking ---like us nurses do when we're passing meds, and run to every other patient to help them with their prob, or running back to the desk to answer the phone,etc.
If I have helped anybody, please email me @ Juliana1217@aol.com No spam or off color emails will be read.

Is posting my complaint, of pain on here, supposed to be the therapy itself? I don't see any responses. I have had a sharp stabbing pain in my left thigh for about two months now, that comes on when I lift my leg up to go up the stairs or put my socks and pants on. It is very difficult to pinpoint the location of the pain. When I drive, there is a severe aching pain from my hip to my foot on the same leg - and it's getting worse. 2 months of chiropractor adjustments have not accomplished anything.

I have OA in my left knee that I've had surgery on. I work retail and I'm on my feet 8 hours a day. I have terrible pain in my upper legs that just doesn't go away. Should I be concerned? Are there any medications that would help? I've tried all the different over the counter pain mess without any relief.

Go and make an appointment with the osteopath, or physio, i dont like chiropractors very much but i am sure half your problems comes from your lower back .
Years ago i felt the back of my knees were swollen and felt i had been run over by a truck or been running a marathon.The specialist at the hospital thought severing the nerve in my groin area would help. I ran a mile. Then i went to see the Oeteopath where i lived in New Zealand. one treatment with him did the trick. I asked him afterwards should i go back for more treatment , he said not, just to given him a ring the following morning to see how i felt , otherwise if he did the same again he could undo what he had just done, 40years later im ok. give it a go. The treatment is only a non painful manupilation of the lower back, and while you lie flat on your back with knees bent both feet on the bed , with both arms pull your knees to your chest,hold for the count of 15 maybe and relax and keep the lower back flat on the bed when you do this exercise.( He or she will show you how you can do it at home)
But before that bit he has to do his bit by adjusting the lower back ,good luck.

Why does my knee hurt when i walk, it's so bad i am having difficulty bending it,and when i walk my leg seems to not want to bend even though I tell it too. But when i squeeze at the top of my thigh the pain goes away and i can bend my knee

The Doctors blame the pain on arthritics but i feel that it is more than this. All the doctors do is give antidepressants

Can anyone help.

I am 39 years old. I have had leg pain for over 10 years but it has gotten worse as I've gotten older. Heaviness, aching muscles, worn out feeling that stops as I rest the legs. It's hard to get upstairs or walk up an incline. The doctor sad it's PAD. Does anyone know of any over-the-counter medication I could try before I have to resort to stents?

Hi Guys Hope you are doing good. Well i have seen no answers to all the questions that have been posted.

Well i have had the same problem of my left leg from the left butt. and i have got some solutions after suffering for 5-6 years. It worked for me but am not sure it will work for you. Guess it will do the same (od will.

The solution to this is to relax and stretch out the piriformis muscle as this will also reduce the pain of the low back. Recommendations would include massage and heat to the area which is at the buttock and stretching of the muscle itself.

Piriformis stretching: sitting on the floor both legs straight forward. Cross the left leg over the right leg making a "4" position (the left ankle is right above the right knee cap). Grab the right leg as you bend the right knee toward your chest and lie on your back on the floor. As you pull the right knee to your chest, you should feel a "burning" sensation at the left buttock which is good. Hold the position for about 30 to 40 seconds for the piriformis to loosen up. To get more stretch, while in the same position, push the left knee downward away from your body and try to get it to flush with the right knee. This should induce more stretching to the piriformis muscle. You can do this as often as you like.

(Pregnant women you might seek more advise on this)

Cheers

I'm 18 years old. It's 4 30 in the morning. I've been awakE most the night. The more I lay here in bed the worse my legs feel. It's all the way from my very upper thighs down to the middle of my foot on both sides. I know what all of you are experiencing and ya it totally sucks!!!!! I want you all to look up fibromyalgia ... Its something my family has and it's BAD. This is one of the symptoms and you might want to get it checked out. There's no real cure and I've been experiencing this pain for years. I don't sleep and it keeps me from being a normal teen :(

I admit I sit constantly on my bed or lie on my bed online from the moment I wake til I go to bed or unless Im at work. I'm 37 year old female with a 15 yo son who kind of does the same thing.
Just yesterday at my job (mcdonalds) I was sitting on break and got a sharp severe breath stealing stabbing pain in my upper thigh right where my groin crease is. i looked on line later and it's where the femoral and iliad (?) artery meet. It happened once more at work an hour later. Then was gone til I got in the car to come home. It happened lightly to let me know it was still there.
Now it's 3 hours after work, 3am and the pain comes (like earlier, with NO warning) and it makes me cry out.
I'm a little scared. Do you think it's a clot?

I have severe pain in my right leg runs from my hip to the bottom of my foot. Feels heavy, hurts more if I sit for to long or stand, walk etc. Sounds like it might be PAD, what is the test called and what type of doctor would I need to see. If I have PAD what are the treatments that would not include taking a prescription medication. Is there an exercise that will treat PAD? Thank you for your time.

I am having some severe pain in the back of both of my legs. It goes all the way from my butt to both of my heels. I can't afford to go to the doctors so all I have been able to do is take aspirin. The aspirin helps very little. I normally walk a minimum of 5 miles a day witch never makes me soar. The pain I am feeling is way beyond a soar anyway. I have have done nothing out of my normal routine to have caused such severe pain. I also have not injured myself in any way. It has only been 3 days since the pain has started but is has been nonstop. I can not sleep because it hurts the most lying down. It seems the only time the pain isn't severe is when I am standing up. The pain increases when I try to walk though. Any advice would be a help thank you.

I have severe severe pain in my left buttock or hip that starts about 1hr. Into my sleep and last about an hour.i have to flip and flop all night to keep the pain from being so severe it is only in my left hip and started while I was wearing a cast on my left arm for a bad broken wrist The whole 6 weeks that I wore the cast and 3 weeks after my arm ,wrist and hand were severly swollen like cast was way too tight. I am basically healthy and 52 years old I am not over weight and just had bone mass study and that pointed out nothing that could cause this kind of pain . I feed 60 horses twice a day with five gallon buckets and lift the buckets from the ground up to the top of the troughs . Could this be too much stress on my hip joints and cause this pain or did the cast mess with my circulation or cod I have pad I have no redness or swelling. I just started taking glucosamine,chondroitin& msm doesn't really seem to help. Please help I NEED SLEEP!!!!

the pains I have are on the outside of my hips and thighs, can only sleep on each side about 1 1/2 hrs, & the pains are too much to bear. At times the pains will pop up below the knee or on the shin bone, either leg. Walking is difficult, my lower back and out towards my hips feels like a vice is tightening up my lower back, where I can't move or stand. I have been on cholestrol meds for 20 yrs. My lab report reads that I have inflamation going on somewhere in my body. These pains have been getting worse for almost a yr. The Dr. says take advil or aleeve, they will do less harm then a perscription will do. A month ago, my left leg, just went limp and I almost fell, if I didn't catch myself by falling into the counter.

Hi TRACY, i can tell you that i get same experience like you. my right leg (back side) had extreme pain for 2 months staight. i didn't have any insurance to go to the medical doc (probably that saved me!). anyway, long story short, i visited a chinese doctor in NYC (Dr. Jack, who's a monk)and he ensured me that my pain is from circulatory problems. it was like when i seat or try to use my right leg, i feel the pain in my vein or arteries (like it tearing up). my chinese doc diagnose right, but couldn't reduce my pain. i was feeling extreme stress, 'cause i'm in my thirties and i didn't know anyone like me had this type of pain. out of desperation, i started to eat rotten meat (grass fed beef). the first day, after took a small tiny ball, my pain was gone. since that day, now i'm eating rotten meat for the past 3 months and i don't feel that pain anymore.

Three days ago, I feel deep pain on the left pelvic area in the evening. The next day, pain was still there and it became difficut to walk as if I can't carry my weight. The following day, it got worth and it was extremely difficut to walk. When I try to sit or stand and to bend my upper body. It was hard to even move side ways much less walking. What causes such discomfort and pain?

08 Mar 2010, 05:32

I am 58 years old and a little overweight. To lose the weight I have taken up walking and have also started a training programm called couch to 10k in 13 weeks. I walk or job 30 - 40 miles per week. When walking, although I suffer from what feels like tightening of the muscles up the front of the thigh, now I am suffering a lot after my exercise and the pains through my legs are stopping me sleeping. The pains are not static, they appear to move about in my legs. I also have stabbing pains in my toes and pains down my shins. So much for trying to get fit. I never thought it would cause me so much pain.

Am I doing too much or is this something a little more sinister.

I have severe spondiliostesis in my lower back as well as severe osteoarthritis in both my knees.
For the past 15 years I also have been very obese at 130Kgs for 179cms in height.

For the past two years I have had severe pains in the back of my legs and calfs and when I walk for about 30 minutes I feel that my legs weight a tonne and I can barely walk or lift my legs; after sitting down for a while it gets a little better;
At night my legs are always cold and i do not seem to be able to warm them and I constantly have to move them to attempt to get better.
My specialist suggest that it is caused by my knee and I am fed up in hearing there suggestions as I know the pain to be very different from one another.
can someone help me to diagnose accurately my problems?

I had a tension type string pain inside my right thigh. Then when I tried to get up or down I would experience a shocking tearing feeling down the inside of my right calf on to my ankle. This has happened all day. I have been in the Hospital for nerve dammage from solvent exposure at my shop. I also have a very swollen prostate for years. Do my symptoms seem in line with these conditions where I should go back for further testing? I'm tired of the hospital.

For about two months i have had pain in the upper part of my right leg. Its in the top part of my leg like its in the muscle and goes to the right side at times. Last night it hurt so much i couldn't sleep. I take ibprophen for the pain but didn't do a lot of good last night---800mg. Which doctor should i see?

17 Nov 2009, 08:54

Folks don't forget that hip and back problems can cause pain in your legs. If you suffer with slipped or bulging discs they may rub against the nerve endings for your legs muscles and cause pain.

What is the point to this website if all of the questions are being asked but no answers are being offered? Just look at all these people who are truly hurting! No answers? Then why have this comment section?

i m 30,female with a 6 yr kid.i m having leg pain since past 2yrs, which began with my eczemza when it got very severe over especially legs, and that also showed some varicoses then, this is now much less by homeopathic treatment without using any external applications. but the pain in legs persists, much less though, typically coming on when i rest,hang my legs, r stand still, or do rapid leg movements,as if legs are too heavy to move. one side is more affected, esp the ankles when i stand, as if they are suddenly filled with something.when i sit,the points on calf or ankle or sole suddenly squeeze for few seconds,unbearably.also the eczema is more on the legs than elsewhere by 50%, yielding little to the best of homeopathic medicines, which have given rest of the skin a new life.
could my condition be reversible, and by what measures, i want to live a normal hectic active life- please help.

My legs get extremely tired when I shop. It is worse at night, when I lie down to sleep, my legs feel hot and achey, I move my legs to a cool spot on the sheets, but it isn't long before I have to find a cooler place and this keeps up for hours. Once, I got in the tub and turned on cold water and soaked my legs til they cooled off. Another symtom is when I get down on the floor to exercise or for any reason, getting back up is difficult because I get sharp cramps in my calves and thighs. What is the reason for these problems? Ps........I am 72, no history of arthritis.

Every once in a while I get these horrible pains in my legs that radiate from the shin behind the outer calf outward and upward towards my lower thighs. It usually starts when I'm sleeping and keeps me up all night. I then have to go days without sleep. It is both dull and sharp at the same time. I'm 29 now and this has been occuring for at least 7 years but I have no insurance. Can you help explain?

Thank you

20+ years ago I was struck by a car crossing a street. The bumper of the car struck my knee caps and I had surgery on both knees. Arthitis has kicked in; however, past couple weeks, right leg from knee down is becoming very painful. Sharp, dull aching pain. Not all the time, but when it kicks in, it is becoming very painful. I have had crotizon shots in the past years, but nothing recently. Any suggestions if this could be something different or just a long term problem.

For about 3 weeks I have had nagging, sometimes severe pain in my upper right leg. From aching to sharp. Does not hurt as bad when moving most of the time, but can't stand still, like in a line a grocery store or when I'm blowing hair dry. Almost becaome unbearable. Also hurts, almost like a pull in hamstring area when reaching up. Sure could use some advice. About 5 years ago I fell down hill on to cart path golfing landing on my buttom. Severe pain and rectal pressure like I've never known. Recovered OK but was never checked out. Could this possibly be the cause now.

I have a pain (not horrible but more nagging and worrisome) that began near my ankle and has now progress up my left leg to my thigh. It comes and goes but I am not sure what it is. I am considerably healthy. I walk 4-5 times a week for 30-60 minutes each. Non smoker, non drinker but having these issues. I have gained 10 lbs over the summer and think that may have something to do with it, but I am not heavy at all so I dont see where that would be an issue. I told my Dr. but she just blamed it on the high heels. Any other suggestions?

For a few months I've had pain in my right heel. Stretching in the morning does help it. But I'm now having pain in my upper right leg, more like a muscle pain.

I have sharp pain in the inside of my left leg/ groin area, it has progressed to my left knee, I suspect it's arterial, any suggestions?

I am 82 and expect to have a few pains but this one seems to be appearing more often, at night. The pain originates in the ankle area and extends upward. Sometimes only one leg is affected, sometimes both.

Another pain starts in my groin and goes down to my knee where it seems to go inward behind my knee. I have been tested for a blood clot in that area but none was found.

I treat these pains with heat and that seems to help.

I have had surgery for a herniated disk.

Standing still causes pain in my hip area.

My ability to walk for any distance is now causing more pain and fatigue.

Thank you for being here. What type of doctor should I see?

I've been having pain in my feet and lowers legs the last few months. The pain is much more frequent, this is concerning me. I've talked with my PCP and she says that I should sleep with feet and pillows at night! I'd like to be tested to see why this might me happening. If I suggest a test for PAD would this help determine the cause?

My husband has lung cancer. He has been having severe leg pain in both legs. He says the calves of his legs are real sore as though he has had charlie horses. The areas above the knee are so weak he cannot squat and he has difficulty walking. He is also unable to climb stairs. What can be causing this pain. It began with severe muscle cramps in the calves of his legs. His Cardiologist stopped his cholesterol medicine for two weeks and the cramps seemed to lessen. Can you recommend what we should do.

19 Aug 2009, 20:07

I am not sure about the so called pain. It feels like burning behind my knee and up the thigh area. Dr. has me on anti inflamitory meds but I am only to take them at night. The so called pain is all the time not just at night. It burns when I put any pressure against the out side of the knee also. I have ordered the PAD information but that will take 4 weeks. Any other persons with this problem and what can I do?

Like so many others, it appears, I have the most terrible pain in my right leg in two locations, top rightand around the knee.

I thought it was a trapped nerve, might still be, but I am getting increasingly worried about this.

Walking is a nightmare now and lying in bed is alos as it is difficuly to find peace and relief from the pain.

I first noticed this some months ago when I just had a slight jabbing pain top right but hese last few weeks it has become really bad.

It's a tingling sensation when I sit but very painful when I walk although mentally telling myself to relax the leg does make it a little easier to walk.

What is the answer and cure for this, walking or resting or tablets or ?????

My right knee, upper outside thigh and lower leg, sometimes going down to my ankle hurt. I feel outside about a month ago and has hurt ever since. I went to the hospital, the doctor just check my knee and ankle to see if I could move it okay and it seemed to be fine to him. They didn't take an Xray though. He said it's probably ostero arthritus. It is still hurting, and sometimes just takes my breath away. I have a high pain tolerance and I'm getting a little worried. What could it be, what should I do.

I have pain on the upper legs toward the outside of the legs. It hurts when I stand up. I have diabetes 2 and heart disease. The pain is sharp and only occurs when I rise from a chair or a car. It only lasts for a few seconds but it is getting increasing worse.

I walk about a mile every day. I am very healthy, but I have pain in my right leg fairly regularly. It started at night when I was sleeping, but now it occurs in the evening when I am sitting. There is no swelling or redness, just an achy uncomfortable feeling.

My friend has pain in both legs, she's almost 18. She said her bones hurt when she walks and when she sits down and it comes and goes. She had this when she was 5 and her mom took her to the doctor and they said she had bone flu is that a diagnostic or is it something serious? Should she go to the doctor? Like I said her pain comes and goes and it gets really bad like today. Please help.

Thank you

I've had problems with my right leg for years now. I kinda thought it might be arthritis, but I'm not sure. I have a heaviness about my entire right leg. It has some swelling that not very noticable. During pregancy(6yrs ago and during other pregancies), I experienced times when my leg would just give out/go limp completely for no reason. The pain used to only occur when the weather changed. Now its all the time. It's bearable, but also bothersome. Pain is located inside the leg from right thigh all the way to foot. Sometimes, I'm scared to wear heels because I'm scared that my ankle will give out. Pain seems to be more bothersome when I'm laying down and rarely goes away. My right leg always feel heavier then the other one. Any suggestion on what I may be experiencing would be great. What kind of specialist should I seek out regarding my symptons?

Thanks
