Question 1

discomfort left pelvis area up along inside of ribs. feels full or tight. lower back discomfort. tingling above knee/bottom of big toe. if i lay butterfly position legs, pain between leg and pelvis. joint? all on left side. what could cause this?

Accepted Answer

Neurologist: Low back discomfort combined with tingling in one leg and foot raises suspicion of nerve root impingement by a bulging disc or spur in a lower spine vertebra but pelvis and rib involvement would not be explainable by that disc or spur. I would start with an examination by a neurologist. Appropriate testing will be done. You may then be referred to an orthopedic specialist if deemed advisable.

Question 2

what usually causes extreme leg pain, joints popping?

Accepted Answer

Nonspecific: Joint popping is almost always benign (similar to cracking knuckles) and very rarely means anything bad.  Extreme leg pain can be caused by many things such as a lumbar radiculopathy, neuropathy, muscle injury, etc.  I would recommend seeing a physician for evaluation.

Question 3

does an ovarian cyst cause leg pain and pelvic pain?

Accepted Answer

Rarely: Despite common beliefs, most ovarian cysts do not cause pain.  However, if a cyst is large enough, it could press against the nerves in the pelvis causing pelvic or leg pain.

Question 4

can pelvic floor dysfunction (tight pelvic floor in spasm) cause leg pain?awaiting botox in pelvic muscle

Accepted Answer

Check for sciatica: See your doctor and have her/him check of sciatica as a cause of the leg pain befor the botox injection. You might get better with physical therapy

Question 5

can having a hypertonic pelvic floor cause leg pain in both legs? pain from the hips all the way down each leg to the ankle?

Accepted Answer

Yes it can: Pelvic floor is a highway for nerves that supply the legs. Common problems include piriformis spasm that causes a sciatica irritation down the posterior leg and buttock. And the SI joint can rotate causing severe pain in posterior buttock or groin area and anterior thigh.  Get examined by a PMR doc, ob-gyn or orthopoedist who,is familiar with this exam and treatment options.

Question 6

i have been on simvastatin for many years, started having leg pain, (worst in knee) x 12+ months. can statin cause/ worsen joint pain/ osteoarthritis?

Accepted Answer

Statin can but diagn: Statin can but it is usually  muscle but we  need a diagnosis of your  leg pain. I assume  you have been diagnosed  as  having osteoarthritis and if  so statin would not in generla effect  that but can cause leg  tendon problems. You need to have a clear diagnosis to be certsin if the pain is  osteoarthritis or something else.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Fibromyalgia ? : 30's female with "burning aching" pain in "low back, pelvis &amp; arms" considers "muscle &amp; joint pain". A complete examination is needed to rule out systemic disorders such as autoimmune &amp; endocrine disorders. If nothing specific found consider Fibromyalgia. See an Osteopath. See comments:
