Leg and foot cramps lower back pain
Common Questions and Answers about Leg and foot cramps lower back pain
foot
Lower back pain, the sciatica pain under my buttocks, the numbness and tingling down my leg and now, VERY painful leg and foot cramps at night. They can be as little as a toe cramp, a charley horse, all to way to cramping and pulling my foot all the way inward or outward. The cramps are now journeying up my leg to my hamstrings. Is this normal?
Just so you know there is nothing dormant about hepc. It is always an active virus once you have it. Have you had a biopsy to determine how much liver damage you have? I've never really heard of foot pain before and I've been here a long time. Leg cramps yes, is that what you mean? If so try drinking tonic water - believe it or not it helped me greatly with the leg cramps.
In addition, I often have severe leg cramps in my lower/left back of leg that shoot down and freeze my foot into a weird position. I went to a podiatrist when it was just the toe numbness. He thought it might be a neuroma. I got a shot of cortizone. Didn't help. I gave up on it and figured I'll just deal with it. But now the lump feeling and the cramp is just driving me crazy.
Any suggestions what it may be, or what kind of DR I should see. Should I get an MRI.
Levothyroxine is unlikely to cause the foot and toe cramps. The ongoing pain in the leg could indicate that there is progressive damage to the nerves. NCS, nerve conduction studies may show the effects on the nerve. The compression on the nerves needs to be relieved. Therapy for spinal disorders can be conservative (non operative) and surgical (operative) management.
I am 24 weeks pregnant and I wake up in the middle of the night screaming in pain. I have right lower leg cramps. Someone told me to stand up against the wall barefoot on a cold floor which actually worked for me. Also, drink the juice of olives in the can or pickles. I haven't tried that but I heard it works fast.
With my 1st pregnancy I would get excruciating charly horses in my calf muscles at night. My doctor recommended a magnesium supplement & it gave me instant relief.
What other symptoms do you have? apart from sciatica (leg and foot problems) do you have pain in your lower back, bum,groin,hip ? Can u bend forward touch your toes for instance ot does that bring the leg pain on?
No harm in a second opinion, but I would NOT have surgery without knowing where the nerve was impinged.
Standing up/stretching causes great pain. At times, shooting pain in front of lower leg and down sides of foot. Had Ultrasound yesterday...no blockages, no cyst, no clot. inflammation of tissues/unknown origin. This has been going on for a month now. Doctor gave me Celebrex-antianflamatory, leg exercises to stretch and recommended wrap around cold compresses. Your post was a year ago....I hope you are not still suffering-let me know. I'm counting on being normal soon!
Hello. I have pain tingling burning in my left leg and lower back. Don't feel my left leg and lower back like I used to. It feels like one part of my muscles / nerves destroyed another part (left leg). I don't walk normally. Its difficult to sit or walk. Could I have nerve damage? Something else? Any recommendations? I've done MRI of lower back, head, emg of leg nerves. They seem ok. Doctors don't understand my situation. What could this be? I feel it getting worse.
sciatica has been the previous culprit causing pain in back and thigh and leg cramps. This could be pinched nerve in the leg or foot. treatment would include holding the foot slowly in position where the cramp disappears, NSAIDs to relieve the cramp, foot elevation to waist level, soak in warm water, moist heat, wrap in elastic bandage, bed rest to hasten healing, and a orthopaedician consultation followed by a neurologist’s office visit. Hope this helps. Take care.
Maybe you have a pinched nerve,but ,clinically,it looklike soft tissue injury in lower back area (L4/L5),which means inflammation tissue lead to right leg pain and right foot pain ,and this tissue also can stimulate nerves,then affect sensations of calf and back stiff ,etc
So physical examination of lower back is more important than MRI,It's hard to know inversion therapy works for you or not.
Good luck!
I am almost 12 weeks and I am having really bad lower right back cramps down to my leg. If I try to stand I struggle and my legs lock up and I have to limp to be able to walk. It only happens when I sit down for 5 minutes or more. I have been drinking water and trying to walk around more but it's every day I even sleep with a heat pad on my back and it's still very intense. Is this normal?
In the last 3 months I have had charley horeses in my right calf at least3 times a week.Along with sharp pain in my foot and going into my lower back.But the past couple of days its going into the groin area.Its beginning to hurt to the touch.
I'm wondering if it is PN.I'm also Dx's with SLE,Raynaud's,Sjorgren's and Osteo Arthritis since 2001.
I was getting pain in the right side of my lower back and then pain in my right hip and it hurt so much that I would be in tears at work. I couldn't walk without being in a lot of pain and I was constantly bumping into things. My doctor had me on so many diff anti inflamatory meds and pain pills but nothing helped, I was even told by my dentist that I had Lyme disease. I was finally diagnosed with Chiari1 with a syrinx in my cervical spine that went into my thoracic spine this past Oct.
i dont smoke nor drink so when i sleep at night it seems gone but when i wake up the pain is there and more painful under my toes which leaves but then the chronic pain starts. my leg is not pale,cool or clammy,no fever,no discloration and i can walk fine,i could run up 5 flights of stairs if i needed but the cramping is there.its only going on day 3,but im usually in a big box truck with alot of leg room,now im in a van times 2 weeks with no room.
I'm about 22wks now and I'm starting to get lower back and butt pain? Does anyone have this? Or know why? Should I go see my OB or RMT? Any suggestions or relief ideas would be appreciated.
