Knee pain causes calf

Common Questions and Answers about Knee pain causes calf

knee-pain

Avatar f tn Pain in the back of the knee can be caused by arthritis or Bakers cysts (cystic accumulation of synovial fluid, also causes a swelling). So as you can see, arthritis can cause an overall knee pain. Ligament injury causes pain to worsen on walking, bending and stretching the knee. Meniscii too if torn or injured, result in joint instability—that is you are not confident the knee joint will take your weight. Often the person feels a popping sensation on moving the joint.
Avatar f tn I am unable to kneel as it feels like a massive burst of pain behind the knee into my calf muscle as if i have severly sprained it. When standing, if i transfer any weight onto my right leg, i get pain from the back of the knee right down my calf. It is a constant pain when any weight is bearing on it but if i kneel or bend the leg with weight on it, the pain is like a muscle pull and extremely painful. When walking there is no pain at all.
Avatar f tn I am 27 years old and earlier today, I started getting sudden muscle cramp-like spasms in my calf. It is only on my left calf and is behind the knee and down the outside to middle of the calf. Feeling the calf when this pain happens, i cannot feel the muscles tensing or contracting. The best way i can describe the pain is almost like a funny bone pain, but in my calf. The spasms (or whatever they are) are so intense, i cry out in pain. I tried heat and ice and both had no effect.

2075786 tn?1342908758 My heel has a constant aching in it that causes pain to radiate into my ankles, calf, and knee. It is awful!
Avatar n tn I have pain behind my knee and my leg is swollen in the calf. I was checked for blood clot and it was negative. I feel heat coming out of my knee when I place an ice pack on it. It warms the ice pack quickly. My thigh is swollen too, but all the pain is in my knee. It hurts to touch the bones in my knee. My ankles are a little swollen and also the calf on the other leg. I have had a meniscus tear and arthritis in one knee and baker's cyst in the other.
Avatar m tn Look for a good manual therapist. They typically treat not just the knee but also look at how your calf and hip are affecting your knee.
Avatar m tn It is now 8 months later, my calf is the same, and the nerve pain continues in the spots where he inserted the needle (ankle, shin, lower calf), and my knee and groin. Three times I had to get anti-inflammatory medication because my knee swelled up so bad. When I told my primary care physician, she told me "that's impossible." I don't know what to do or who to go to for this. I will NOT have another EMG.
Avatar n tn Hello again Both my ankle and toes are very stiff and i cannot wiggle my right toes very much.There is greater fullness around the thigh,knee and calf.Ocasionally i get pins and needles and burning sensation down the leg. The last neurology visit he said he was unable to flex the knee and there was no crossed abductor response.Light touch was mildly impaired over the whole of the right leg.
Avatar n tn Bending knee after putting weight on it often causes painless popping/clicking noises. Bending it with weight still applied causes louder clicking/popping. I have to be standing on it for a few minutes before it starts happening, like when you're brushing your teeth or standing in the shower. The clicking seems to be closest to the lateral posterior outside of the left knee, near the upper calf. Possibly meniscus related. A couple months ago I injured my left knee doing lunges.
Avatar n tn I have been left with irreversible nerve damage on my shin, and calf and fluid around my knee. I am unable to kneel and have a haematoma in my calf that still causes pain if touched. Oh and my left leg is 3cm thicker than my right leg now just due to all the damage. Turns out I hadn't damaged any muscle but the fat that protects your muscle was all torn and crushed. Im grateful I still have my leg!
Avatar f tn I've been having constant left leg pain in my calf and behind my knee. The only time it doesn't throb is when I lay down with my leg elevated. But standing and walking has become unbearable. The calf gets swollen and is painful to the touch. This is only my left leg though; my right leg/feet doesn't even get swollen. I'm just about 16 weeks pregnant. I saw my primary doctor on Monday and he sent me for ultrasound of the leg to check for blood clots. The test came back negative.
Avatar n tn In the last 4-5 months I have tingling in my right foot nearly constantly to some degree and pain/tightness in my upper right calf and behind my knee. I also have occasional twitching in different areas of my foot, shin and calf areas. I cannot stand on it for more than a minute or so before severe ache/pain/discomfort starts.
Avatar f tn Sorry cnt find where to post this!!! Yesterday i had severe pain in my thigh behind knee and calf on a scale from1-10 about an 8 even considered going A&E but didnt as felf foolish .. today i just have tightness in my calf and a dull ache in calf not really that painful!!! I have dr's appointment later although now feel a fraud.. but was so painful yesterday.. no swelling/bruising and I have not had an injury or over done things.. unless standing ironing counts!!
Avatar f tn Also if this helps, I have had knee pain since i was a kid and we just thought it was growing pains, but i still get it so i am also thinking i will get tested for arthritus. It is bad in that i go to sleep each night with a heat pack and tiger balm rubbed into it. My left hip has recently started to have the same aching feeling. It all seems to be on my left side!
Avatar n tn For my third injection he seemed to hit the same spot as in the first and second series. I did NOT get the calf pain and it did help my knee pain. This is just a guess on my part, but I think if the doctor does not inject it into the correct spot that it goes into the muscles and not the joint.
611964 tn?1223767720 Yes it can. I had the same problem and recently had surgery. I had pain in the buttock, out knee and heel.....sometime it would radiate down the leg through the hamstring. When you say "trigger points do you mean pain?
Avatar f tn I have developed a terrible pain in my left knee. The pain seems to start at the back of the knee and travels about 6 - 8 incles down my leg. I do aerobic and spinning activities regularly. Can you give me some clue what this is?
Avatar n tn If this is the case, you may for example find some difficulty standing on your toes on that leg. The causes of calf muscle weakness are multitude. The calf muscle is innervated by a nerve called the tibial nerve. A neuropathy is any sort of irritation or damage to a nerve, and one potential cause of calf muscle weakness is tibial neuropathy. this is entirely unrelated to ALS.
Avatar f tn Since about 3 weeks I have severe pain on the back of my knee ( left leg), it hurts mostly when walking. Especially after sitting a while, If Advil don't help to ease the pain. I'm not a sports person have not done anything out of the ordinary. the muscle on my calves are very tight and sometimes cramp. I have done a ultrasound to rule out a blood clot. Fortunately nothing was found. Thank you for any response. I do stretch sometimes, put heat on.
529142 tn?1214352259 After a 10 day stay I was dignoised with herniated discs at T7 to T11 also kpysos stenosis, since then this sometimes causes burning pain down and across middle of back when I put a bra on it seems to be pressing on a nerve then I get the pain accross my left ribs.
Avatar n tn Thank you for your informative answer. The tightness, "muscle knots?" is in the calves and now just above the knee. The pitting edema is mostly on one calf. Don't see any vein problem...yet. My muscles are also tight in my shoulders, hamstrings, head and face. Sigh. I have a doctor's appt. next week. Thank you again.
Avatar f tn Just below the knee of my left leg I get severe pain that causes me to almost have it go out from under me. It comes and goes, but lately its more often. It does not involve the joint itself, it is the very top of thelower leg on the front. It is not swollen,noris it red. I have fallen on the ice a couple years ago striking that leg on the edge of a porch step in that area. I am 150 pounds over weight which I am sure aggrivates it.
Avatar n tn I have sharp pain behind my right knee that permeates a searing burning pain up the back of my thigh. When sitting on a furniture, leaning my leg toward the left causes the pain behind the knee to increase. If I am sitting or laying and my legs are flat, when I bend my right leg while still flat (foot against my left left), the pain behind my knee intensifies and my leg feels weak.
Avatar m tn Recently, 5 days ago I think, I fell on this knee pretty badly and as you can imagine this brought a world of pain. When I got home, I rubbed some Hotemin cream on the knee, I put a wrap on it and I took an Acteric tablet to help with the pain of walking (or limping, in my case). The wrap was one of those you just pull over the knee, not an actual length of cloth wrapped around the knee and at first I thought it was just the right fit, being a little tight.
