Question 1

burning pain in top of leg,calf muscles feel like their tightening, inner tremor,tingle in side of face,hot showers cause weakness and tremor in legs?

Accepted Answer

MRI brain with FLAIR: The facial tingling and response to hot shower is concerning. Your neurologist will want to do a good exam and get an MRI of the head to exclude MS or clinically isolated syndrome.

Question 2

burning sensation in left calf muscle?

Accepted Answer

Do you have varicose: Veins in the leg, if you do, this could be superficial phlebitis, if you do not it could muscular origin, both you could treat with Motrin and moist heat. If did not go away check with your doctor.

Question 3

it feels more like a burning pain, it's more on the inside of my right foot, around shin, and calf muscle hurts on occasion.

Accepted Answer

Circulation: Seek an evaluation to specifically determine if your symptoms are arterial vs venous in nature.  Particularly, do they get better or worse with ambulation vs rest?  Are you diabetic?

Question 4

i am aged 73 having  burning pain and strain on the back muscles of the left thigh  extending to calf muscle find difficult to stand and walk 4 months?

Accepted Answer

See your MD: With a history that complex you'll need to see a doctor who can listen, examine, and test you.

Question 5

l4l5 disc herniation 6 months ago with sciatica. now i have burning pain in calf only after standing for 10 min. relief when i sit down. what can i do?

Accepted Answer

Get help: The burning represent inflammation or compression to the nerve roots at that location. Oral steroid dospak, epidural injections and surgical decompression are all reasonable, as is spinal,cord stimulation.  Medications such as gabapentin, or pregabilin are most helpful in stopping the nerve pain. You need evaluation by pain doc to determine which is best for you. MRI and EMG should be checked.

Question 6

what causes a burning sensation in the viens in my fore arms? also the muscles in my calfs keep locking up.

Accepted Answer

Don't know: I have never heard of burning in forearm veins unless something has been injected into them.  Assuming you are not doing that (and maybe especially if you are) then you should see a clinician to find the cause of this and the leg cramps.  Probably need blood tests as well. Meanwhile, keep your arms above your heart level and try some heat on them as well as your leg muscles to see if it helps.

Question 7

woke to pain in calf muscles. standing on legs helped a bit, but my calves feel very tight. what could have happened?

Accepted Answer

Blood clot?: Exam is important for possible blood clot or compartment syndrome if you had history of trauma.

Question 8

still have swelling in feet and pain in calf muscles after viral fever after 20 days, when will it get better?

Accepted Answer

Unusual symptoms: This seems to be  very unusual set of symptoms relating to a virus after 3 weeks. There could be multiple other cause and therefore you should be examined by your doctor.

Question 9

acute pain in calf muscle at a specific spot. i can feel a slight bulge when i touch the spot. the condition exists from several years.

Accepted Answer

May be injured: This sounds like an old injury to the calf muscle which may have resulted in adhesions (scarring) as part of healing.  A new growth must also be ruled out.  A diagnostic ultrasound can be ordered, but an MRI would be more useful.  It needs to be examined.  See a podiatrist, foot/ankle specialist or orthopedist.

Question 10

what do you suggest for bad pain in calf muscle what do i do?

Accepted Answer

Get checked.: You should see a non- surgical sports medicine specialist, who can determine if it's just a strain , or something more serious. Icing the calf for 20 minutes at a time, 3-4 times per day, can be helpful. Also, if you can take aleve (naproxen) or advil, as directed, it may help as well.
