Foot pain going up leg

Common Questions and Answers about Foot pain going up leg

foot

Up until now I have been thinking my pain was mainly in my left testicle, but during the last couple of weeks I got the feeling that the pain was just as much in my left leg/knee and left foot. I guess I look at that as a good thing, since pain in the leg does not sound as scary. Still, it would be nice to get rid of it all, and I do plan to go see the doctor soon, but because of some stupid mix-up I was unable to change my doctor in May-June.

I went to stand on my couch and as I went up, my left foot got caught under couch and hit a bolt. It was intense pain and now it has been 24 hrs and the pain went up into the back of my calf and now is in my thigh. What is going on and what should I do?

Within the last month or so when I walk to class the bottom of my left foot and toes go numb. i also have pain going down the back of my leg. This ussualy goes away in about 10 minutes after I sit down. However, within the last two days I have had this pain more constant whether I was walking or sitting down and it doesn't go away as easily. Could this be a problem with the circulation to my leg or is it more likely to be associated with my back or nerves.

I only have a little pain during the day but when I lay down to go to bed the pain is so bad that I need to take pain pills. My leg will throb so bad that it keeps me up most of the night. I have no medical insurance untill Dec 2011 so I have been very worried.

I think the pain is in the joint, more on the top where my shin meets my foot. Does anyone else experience this pain? Will it go away as I get more and more used to running? Any advice appreciated.

What I have been doing to ease the pain/make it more comfortable.. I have been putting my leg up on two pillows with a heating pad on it.. so the heating pad lies almost up to the top of my thigh and to my knee.. helps alot!! When I have to go out for the day.. I have been getting those knee heating pads and placing them on my thigh with an ace bandage around it. Just some things that have helped me.. so I can get thru the day. By the way how is the WC case going?

I am 31 yrs old and have been having severe leg and foot pain with pins and needles sensations for most of my life.My arms and legs are really weak which makes it hard to stand or hold on to anything. Recently i have been having lower back pain with pins and needles sensation in mid back and now have bladder retention. I cannot touch my toes never have.The pain feels like elastic bands are wraped tightly on my arms and legs.

I also had a really bad ingrown toenail in the same big toe taken out a few months ago. Well, for a few months now I've been having pain in my foot that's radiating up my leg. More specifically, I'm not showing any physical outside symptoms except that my toe is a little swollen and purplish. All the tests I've had done so far including an x-ray, an mri and an emg and nerve conduction study have came back normal. Except the mri showed I had some edema.

starts from my left hip and runs down to my foot. It is a shart pain. The pain doesn't remain in my hip, but my foot has constant pain. I have seen a Podiatrist and was given cortisone shots, that did not help at all. Let me back up a bit. I was diagnosed with a pinched nerve in my back. I went through treatment ( 3 injections in my back) over 3 weeks. My back pain is gone, but weeks later, I developed this leg and foot pain.

But the last couple of months, I have had extreme left heel pain which seems to be spreading up my left leg. I also have pain in my right elbow. I have been to my podiatrist who has recommended orthotics etc,. Could this be MS related?

I'm very sorry that you are experiencing this pain in your leg and foot. It sounds like you might have strained or pulled a muscle in your leg. This definitely would extend down into your foot. Also, when you would point your toes it would make it hurt worse than just sitting normally as it would stetch the already strained or pulled muscle. You might consider checking with your Doctor if it continues to be bothersome to you.

A 3 pound can was dropped on the top of my foot today,I am experiencing swelling and pain that shoots down to my toes ands up my leg.I can still walk on my foot but it hurts.Could I have a small fracture on the top of my foot?

I STARTED WITH SERVER HEEL OF MY LEFT PAIN -WENT UP MY LEG TO A SPOT ON MY HIP I CAN PINPOINT. I AM ON 90 MG. OF MORPHINE A DAY TO HELP WITH THE PAIN WHEN ALL ELSE FAILED. IN AUGUST IT GOT WORSE. THE FRONT OF MY LEFT THIGH WAS STARTED HURTING AND FEELS LIKE LITTLE RIPPLES UNDER MY SKIN. I AM ALWAYS VERY TIRED. THANKS FOR YOUR ANSWER.

About a year ago I started getting pain in my right foot when I walked and now it has progressed to traveling up my leg and my toes will go numb also. When I rest I can keep walking until it starts again which does not take long. Now at night my right foot will go numb, like it ahs fallen asleep, and will tingle. If I do not get up and walk it off it will start a shooting pain through my foot until I do get up. What is causing this.

pain in leg starting in the back in the tail bone.down leg to severe pain behind knee. pinky is numb to slightyly numb. also feels like a lump is under my foot . no mater how much i feel it cant feel anything. pain is severe in knee when bent in sitting or driving position. after sitting for a while hard to get up and start walking.

I found it quite painful puuting weight on for the rest of the day- due to the pain in my lower leg. On going to bed the pain completely shifted away from my leg to the top part of my foot/ big toe and I noticed I had what looked like a small bit of bone sticking out. I got up early in the night and initially it painful putting weight on my foot, however after a few steps the pain decreased.

For example, does walking improve the pain or worsen the pain? Do you have pain in your legs and feet at night? 3. Do you have any loss of sensation in your legs or feet? or, do you have feelings of "pins and needles" or "electric shocks"? 4. Do you have other medical problems such as diabetes, high blood pressure, lower back pain, problems with your nerves, depression, anxiety, injury to your spine or legs? 5. What did your doctor at work think was wrong with your legs?

I HAVE NOT YET BEEN TO THE DOCTOR FOR THIS PROBLEM YET I HAVE BEEN ALITTLE AFRAID TO GO BECAUSE OF WHAT THEY MIGHT TELL ME IS WRONG WITH MY LEG AND FOOT. THE PAIN REALLY HURTS ALOT IF I LAY DOWN AND GET UP TO WALK IT IS VERY HARD INORDER FOR ME TO WALK ON THE LEG THE BOTTOM OF THE FOOT FEELS NUMB AT TIMES I HAVE BEEN HAVING THESE SYMPTOMS FOR ABOUT A MONTH OR SO.

I am having the same problem. My foot, after a full day on it, even starts to hurt up my leg stopping 1/4 way upmy calf and swelling. I did start NIA classes about 3 wks ago. My doctor did not recognize what was going on either. I have an HMO I insurance, so I have to wait 4-8 wks to get an appt with Podiatry! Anyone had this? Take care!!

Where it used to be a very prickly pins and needles feeling, it is now a more dull falling asleep feeling. It usually starts in my foot/ankle area and moves up into my lower leg but doesnt' seem to move up past my knee. My family doctor has run many blood tests for B-12 deficency, diabetes, lupus, etc and hasn't found anything. The last thing she told me was if it got worse or spread they would investigate further for things like MS, which obviously freaked me out.

The leg and side pain might just be a muscle cramp that I injured somehow, and just coincidental to my foot....but I am really getting to worry about this foot pain. Is there anything someone can suggest?

I have had and still have with no signs of letting up a totally stiff and painful left foot, and ankle. The pain by the end of the day radiates up my leg into my hip. I can stand on it just fine, it doesn't hurt to STAND, it just hurts to move it or to hold it still. Interestingly enough. When I do just lay there and rest it, there is a vibrating sensation in the bottom of my foot, mush like a gentle cell phone ringing along a line.

Four days later, I started noticing a heat/chill sensation in my torsal and burning in my left leg and foot, and unfortunately, the rash was still there and very sore. After internet surfing, I realized I hadn't been bitten by an insect and sought medical help for Shingles.

I just got back my MRI report(bulging disc,s) which i,m hoping finally explains my almost unbearable at times cronic pain in neck, right shoulder,back,leg.

Started with itchy top of foot, next day out of the blue foot is tingling, feeling numb(wanted to shake awake). Pain in ankle. Now pain (mild ache)going up leg (Knee, thigh). Then get a cluster of red bumps (rash-like) on ankle bone. Any idea? Who do you see for this? Foot feels mildly numb, but also achey with a rash?

Follow up near a good orthopaedician who specialises in foot. Before that go for Diabetes testing, Check your blood pressure and vitals and start getting into shape by having a proper diet. (Not dieting but eating balanced and healthy diet) Take care!
