Common Questions and Answers about Leg pain diagnosis
pain
I have had leg pain that occurs in all parts of my legs at different times. It becomes so severe that I have to sit for a time before it will go away..I cannot go upstairs at any time without pain. Tests for blood clots have been done,also circulation. Doctiors don't seem interested in finding the cause. Must use electric cart to shop. Cannot do normal houseword without many resting periods. I'm thinking BCG treatments or some medication may be the cause I would appriciate any help.

These doctors are trained in advanced anesthesiology, chronic pain as a disease, the central and peripheral nervous system, the use of advanced pain medication, and in techniques that can deliver pain relief with injections and other non-invasive procedures to specific areas of the body. They are also experts at diagnosis of rare pain syndromes, like central pain, CRPS, and RDS.
He did not have any real answer and I just went about my life with pain and numbness in my right buttock and right leg for years. As the years went by, I began to have more and more difficulty sleeping as the pain and discomfort was getting worse and worse. Every couple years I would get to a point where I just couldn't take it anymore and I would go to a doctor.
wondering what causes pain in my right leg during the night? It doesn't hurt at all during the day.It's not a cramp, it just hurts. Thanks!!
I have leg pain more on right when I walk. It stops when I rest. Plus I get cramps in my feet,legs,hands and when I yawn cramps in my neck.
I have had doppler studies with no results and I cant' get my Dr to understand the pain I'm in when I try to walk.Plus my left leg swells. I do have high bp which is controlled with meds. Any suggestions on other test we might try. I miss going for long walks and just walking the mall.
My granddaughter is seven. She has complained about severe, generalized leg pain which makes her cry. She can't locate the pain but says her legs ache really badly. Laying down helps but takes a full twenty minutes or so. Also, a baby aspirin. Seems to lessen the pain. The pediatrician dismissed it as "growing pains" but did no testing.
Any knowledge would be appreciated.
THe second neuro we saw is a professor of neurology and specializes in Diagnosis, he is perplexed himself, the have both mentioned ALS however they said the pain throws a wrench into the diagnosis since pain is not usually a symptom of ALS. Our visit last week left him scratching his head, my husband has lost 27lbs, he can see the muscle loss and after examination can notice the weakness progressing in arms and left leg. He has now referred us to another neuro for his opinion.
I have had leg pain (my right leg ) for more than 2 months now ,i had consulted the doctor she says that i am insufficient on nutrients .My leg usually pains in the afternoon when i sit ideally .But after a brisk walk in the evening and after taking my insulin dosage i feel releived .My leg pain starts i.e from my knees to my foot and pains occassionally at different areas of the leg(knee to foot).
It feels like the tissue/muscle is where the pain is. But duren the night it seems the pain goes all the way to the bone. Plus there is pain when the area is touched-sensitivity. I want to scream because the pain is so bad. I notice that the pain begins when i sit longer then 2 minuts. or lay on that side too long.
I have tried over the counter pain meds for it. On the first day it took the med it helpd but the next day it did not offer any relief.
Another possibility could be compression of nerves due to obesity or spine disc prolapse/degeneration. By the reason of that nerves from the spinal cord can be irritated causing leg/thigh pain and numbness, tingling, or weakness in the leg. Few persons also face generalized body weakness and numbness due to other nerve irritation on back.
My muscle cramping has disappeared as has the leg pain. Granted I have sciatica that nothing touches but the leg pain I was experiencing was not associated with my chronic pain.
So if you have not had a battery of lab tests to check the levels I mentioned I would encourage you to request them. Your pain may be related to the Fibro progression but in my opinion it wouldn't hurt to cover all your bases.
I assume with your diagnosis you are being monitored and treated by a rheumatologist.
for the past 3 months everyday I have had left leg pain sometimes it feels like it is just in my calf and aroung my ankle and other times it feels like it moves up to the front upper part of my thigh. This pain is a constant ache that starts whenever I stand or walk to much. I can eventually get it to subside when I get off of my leg. I have done 13 treatments with my chiropractor and 4 therapeutic massage sessions (OWOWOWOW), they are now telling me to start acupunture.
