Lump in calf muscle
Common Questions and Answers about Lump in calf muscle
lump
The pain prompted me to examine my leg and that is when I noticed a lump at the bottom of my calf muscle and flexing only made it more noticeable. Two clinic visits, an ultrasound and one pcp later still no answers or guesses. The mass is getting larger. My pcp was supposed to view the u/s results that the clinic ordered, but I haven't heard from him.
My left calf is noticeably bigger than my right.
Ok, so now to my question. What type Doctor should I see?
Hi,
I have had a swollen calf since late January. I was initially told it was a haematoma following a muscle tear and it would go by itself but I have now had an MRI scan and Ultrasound and my doctors exact words were 'there's something growing in there'. The lump/swelling is uncomfortable rather than painful and hasn't changed in size since I first noticed it.
I'm being sent to a specialist but does it sound like cancer?
I deal with calf and hamstring cramping every day in my work line of personal fitness training. The most common causes of muscle cramping often in calves are dehydration, lack of potassium or high sodium diet. What you are describing is a muscle soreness originally started by using your calf muscle that is excentuated by either one of the two above things.
It left and i walked back home about 1/2 mile, on the way home i did notice a little numbness in the left foot. Its been an hour and half now, and numbness is gone, but calf muscle feels tired. What is causing the calf muscle to ache and go numb? What can i do to prevent this from happening, again? Im not a fast walker but i love to walk. I would like to walk faster then i am, but i cant with this issue.
This is the second time it has happened.
I am 26 years old and for the most part pretty healthy. Work out on occasion but that is just as of recently. For a few years I have been experiencing a sporadic pain in my right lower leg. It's more so located inbetween my calf and my shin on the inner side. When it's not hurting, you can feel a lump but it's very small, like a cm in diameter. Every so often though, it's very painful and it's almost as if it swells up (the lump that is).
last night I noticed a little pain in my left leg, in the calf. Ignored it. This morning, walking in to work,(long walk) I really thought, wow...ouch! But kept on going. At noon, was walking to breakroom, and pow! Felt like something snapped in my calf! The pain was extreme. I could walk though, and made it to my desk. Its now HOURS later...and my calf is very very sore. I can walk..if I hold it just right. I called my dr, talked to the nurse. She didnt see a need to have me come in ( why not!!
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!!
30 yr old female. For the past couple of weeks I've had a pulsing in my left calf. It's been small, but always in the same spot towards the inside my calf. I don't feel as though it's a muscle twitch because it's so small and specific. I always notice it when I'm sitting or lying down. I suffered a crush injury on my opposite calf and knee about 3months ago and took naproxen for approx 4 weeks. Any ideas?
For at least five years I have had a persistent muscle twitch in my left calf. I am unsure as to the exact origin of the problem, but about seven years ago I suffered from a bout of sciatica, again in my left leg.
I am reasonably fit (I ran a marathon about eleven years ago which might be the root of all these problems!) and still exercise (running and swimming) quite regularly depending on time and motivation.
About two weeks after that visit I started have muscle twitches in both calf muscles. I only have them when I sit down and if I get distracted by something else I don't notice them. Also I was doing so pretty heavy lifting the other day and afterwards my right bicep was really sore. I have also noticed a tingling sensation in my right pinky. As you might guess I've been all over the internet looking up symptoms of some terrible diseases.
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.
Recently, I have begun having new, mostly mild, twinges of pain in my right back lower leg. These are not confined to my calf muscle & do not seem to have any rhyme or reason.
I have seen my internist, a rheumotologist, an orthopedic & a neurologist. I have been checked for the following serious conditions:
*Lupus
*M.S.
It is the worst pain ever. It only seems to happen in the middle of the night. Once in a while during the day. When I wake up in the morning I can't barely walk. Sometimes I can't for a few hours. and then when I can I am limping. ( sp ) It use to only happen once every two weeks. but now it has been happening every other night. I was wondering if I am low on a something. If there is something I need to take. Or if it is more serious and needs to be seen by a Doctor.
When I press on it you can feel a dime size hole in the muscle. I also have these on my left legs to. A couple in fact. Neither hurt. If it wasn't for me feeling them I wouldn't have noticed. I heard it could be veins bulging through the muscle fascia. All of the are mostly located near the same spot on either left or right leg.
s localized, in the upper calf, to the right of the middle of the back of the calf. The sensation feels as if it's at the surface of the muscle rather than deep inside it. It's not tender (doesn't hurt even when manhandled, just keeps going with this nagging digging sensation), it's not hotter or colder to the touch than the equivalent area on my other leg, the area is not red and my leg is not swollen.
moderators please move if in the wrong place. I have started having deep muscle spasms in my right calf. I have hd these spasms for about 5 months now. I have severe spasms sometimes. Sometimes they are so severe that I wake up crying. Other times I have twitching in that same muscle. All day long i suffer with the minor twitching. I think I have become used to the twitching pain. The severe pain is intense. I also have severe migraines.
In the past month or so I have started experiencing muscle twitching in my calves only. Usually it is at night when I'm lying down and sometimes in the morning. It's not painful just odd. I'm a 43 year old female in good health with moderate excerise and average nutrition. Not overweight, no smoking and a glass or two of wine a month. Is this something to be concerned about.
