Avatar f tn Now, the pain is pretty much gone, but my legs are heavy and tingling somewhat below the knee. (not in a line down from the back, JUST below the knee.) Should I just wait to see what will happen or should I seek medical attention. (I'd rather wait...) J.D.
Avatar f tn I see my doctor in two days but my skin s so itchy its torturing me. Its my belly and legs below the knee. My face and arms itch a little but nothing like my belly. I have never had anything itch so bad. I'm putting fragrance free lotion on every hour. It helps but i still itch. I'm not sure how much i can take.
Avatar n tn My legs have been itchy every day since i was born. im 21 and i have always had itchy legs. when i was younger my family would all scream at me as once i started i couldnt seem to stop. the itching gets so bad that it annoys you and fustrates you and it becomes painfull. My dad used to smack my legs where it was itching and it used to help but it didnt last too long only for about 5-10 mins and i would be scratching again.
Avatar m tn I have yet to take the drug but I am going to let you know if it also helps with the itchy legs. I really dont think the itchy legs are caused by histamines. I think the problem is Eosinophil mediated. It makes sense that inhibiting leukotriene's might solve both problems. Stay tuned I will give an update soon This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/241193'>Itchy legs, no sign of rash or irritation</a>.
Avatar m tn For about a month or so I would get VERY itchy legs, especially my lower legs, after showers. Worse yet I would wake up in the middle of the night scratching like mad! I found this site and tried Hydrocortizone cream as suggested in a comment here. It worked at first, but still I woke up itching like crazy. I tried different itch relief lotions that contain oatmeal but they were of no avail.
Avatar n tn ll feel as if someone has a tight hold around each leg below the knee in a firm constant squeeze, and immediately I'll feel the pressure of the blood rush to to my lower legs, and it's happened enough times now, I know if I'm quick to look down closely at my lower legs and feet as soon as I feel it start, I can actually watch all the little red dots come out all over. And they don't ever go away right away, like a rash might.
Avatar m tn But i have syphilitic sore, gammas, muscle weakness, headache, irritability, joint pains, knee pains, eyes are itchy,pain,reddish. Many doctors dont know that negative result does not rule out syphilis. 70% of CSF VDRL are also false negatives. There is a strain of antibiotic resistance syphilis is spreading.

Avatar n tn My brother fell and scrapped his one knee. Three days later he couldn't move it or walk on it. Antibiotics didn't help. Now both legs (the knees and below) are extremely painful and he can't walk. Other than that, he feels fine.
Avatar f tn About 3-4 days ago I noticed a small rashy spot on the inside of my calf, and also an itchy spot (with nothing at all there) inside of same leg by the knee. The rashy spot on calf has since grown to an oval over 1 inch long, with hard blisters on it and reddish area around it. The itchy spot has also erupted two smaller spots, though without the blisters.
Avatar n tn When you take antibiotics for a certain period of time, they can cause you to get a yeast infection, which can lead to the itching you are experiencing. My advice is to contact the doctor or whoever prescribed you the antibiotic and let them know, they can tell you the best thing to do from there. Also, drinking lots of water and eating yogurt with live and active cultures might be a halp, if this is in fact a yeast infection you have. I hope this was some help!
Avatar m tn Hi, first time outbreaks would be at point of contact like you penis shaft or pubic mound area not your leg below the knee. Unless your knee made rubbing contact with her vagina or mouth.
Avatar n tn Im glad Im not the only one with "itchy" legs. I have had "itchy" legs for years. I have been told it was all in my head. And have tired almost everything for dry itchy skin. Its mostly my lower legs, the front and side. Sometimes its my upper leg. When they itch, it feels like they are itchy from the bones. I end up itching them so much that I tear my legs open, and usually get a faint scar. They seem dry usually, but are as smooth and soft as my hands are.
Avatar n tn There are about 7 of these lines next to each other, and the outer edge of the spot to the last line goes from the outer side of my right leg to the inner back part of the leg just below my knee. Does anyone happen to know what this could be? The area isn't raised or itchy it's just a discolouration on my skin.
Avatar m tn My Son is 5 years old and we are noticing red rash in his leg (mostly in knee and below knee), occasionally in hand. No itchy or pain in the rash and it goes off in 3 to 4 days. Checked with dermatology and also allergist but not able to find the cause. We noticed the rash only after he plays in the playground in school or in home. Please share your thoughts if anyone encounter similar kind of problem.
Avatar m tn These marks are only on my thighs near the groin area, but I noticed they are also behind me knees, right at the inward edge, on both knees (so on the right side of left knee, and left side of right knee). There are no marks on my buttocks, but they seem to get itchy at night as I try to go to sleep. This has been going onward what must be about three weeks now. Last night I was awoken at about 12am with what seemed like pinworm-like symptoms.
Avatar f tn About 2 months ago, after swimming at the YWCA, I developed a rash on my back and on the buttocks, and down the back of my legs. I went to my Dr, who put me on an antibiotic and prednisone. Within a week, it cleared some but never really went away, and yes, it was itchy. A month or so later, the rash came back, and I was put on prednisone again plus a cream. It cleared up. Now it's back again. I am suppose to have knee replacement surgery in a few days. What could this be?
Avatar n tn Hi, please get yourself investigated (MRI), avoid sitting with legs hanging down and use cushion below legs during sleep. Tie crepe bandage over knee. Take pain killers (anti inflammatory drugs) regularly and consult orthopedic surgeon as soon as possible as this could be meniscus or ligament injury.
Avatar m tn i get a itchy, tingly sensation around my mouth, nose, on my ankles and arms.
Avatar f tn t work properly, they feel sort of asleep and a bit numb and very stiff, mostly below the knee around the ankles. They work a bit better after I get moving, which makes me suspect a circulatory issue? The colour and temperature of them is normal though...... Does anyone else experience this? Remember, I only get this in 'summer". I NEVER had this when I lived down south in the cool zone (Australia here ).....
Avatar n tn I have burning pain to pressure to my outer thighs below the greater trochanter area, and to my lower legs, inner aspect, about 4 inches below my knee joint. Sleeping on my side is almost impossible since the pressure of one lower leg on the other (even with pillow between knees) causes the deep, burning pain. Steroid injections haven't been very helpful.
Avatar m tn Hello, These red, itchy bumps can be due to allergies, heat rash, sweat dermatitis or hives. Use a mild cleanser with moisturizing properties like Cetaphil. Also use cotton clothes and change the clothes twice if there is any increased sweating. Try keeping the skin free of sweat as far as possible. If the symptoms still persist then you can apply mild steroid like dermacort. For the itching antihistaminics like Benadryl or Claritin can be taken.
Avatar f tn I just got back from that part of Mexico. I had one larger itchy red bump below my knee, and it seemed just itchy. I thought it was poison ivy and small enough that it would go away if I didn't mess with it but it has since started spreading. I feel like it could be spreading from a towel when I'm out of the shower or pulling my shorts up over it because it seems to be spreading up. I read some stuff about chiggers in that area? Anyway there are only 5 bumps, I have included a picture.
Avatar m tn From the front of my calf all the way to the crease behind my knee. From my sock line to just below my knee. I've tried looking for anything else it could be but have been unable to find anything else that looks similiar. I was wearing shorts at the time, but it didn't look like any kind of rash i could find. Is there any condition that is commonly mistake for shingles? I'm only 37.
Avatar n tn It includes the articulation between the tibia and femur (leg and thigh) and the patella (knee cap) and femur. The most common knee problems in running relate to what is called the "patellofemoral complex". This consists of the quadriceps, knee cap and patellar tendon. What is now called patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) has also been called runner's knee, anterior knee pain, or chondromalacia of the patella.
Avatar f tn I just have it in my head that the surgeon who operates on me needs to have insight into the difference between the force on a knee with below the knee paralysis versus the force on the knee when everything below the knee is functional, and how that will reflect on the success of the surgery. Maybe there's no difference since the AFO takes the place of those key functions.
Avatar m tn I have gotten itchy legs many times. Usually when they are exposed wearing shorts or something. But, it's usually not a big deal. Today, my lower legs started itching like crazy. I rubbed them with the palms of my hands as usual. But, i noticed that I was actually rubbing the hair right off my legs. For about a 4 to 6 inch patch on both legs i had rubbed the hair completely off to a bald spot. This of course got me very worried. I have always had very thick and stubborn hair.
