Accepted Answer

Sciatica: It sounds like a pinched nerve. You should seek medical attention for further testing.

my right leg is rotated out about 30 degrees and i believe its starting to cause pain when i walk. is there anything i can do? im 23 male and the pain is in my ankle on the outside and on the front of my ankle. it feels like really sharp pain like shin sp

Accepted Answer

You : You should see an orthopedic specialist to have a complete evaluation. They may advise imaging studies or physical therapy.  Let them know any past injuries or conditions you have had so that they can best treat your condition.

Question 3

my whole right leg from my back to my ankle hurts like it's one giant knot, stabbing pain, hot and cold feeling and tightness hurts to walk n get up?

Accepted Answer

Painful Knot leg: Seek immediate evaluation at ER or Urgent Care facility. Must rule out thrombophlebitis....

Question 4

i have a haorrible pain on the back lower side of my right leg fron the back of my knee to my heel it is tender to the touch it hurts when i walk?

Accepted Answer

Calf pain: Is the calf hot, red, swollen? You may have a venous blood clot or an infection of the skin. Both should be checked out at once for proper diagnosis & treatment.

Question 5

compression stockings don't help pain what else can i do? i had a dvt in my right leg 2 years ago.  it went from my groin to ankle.   i still have pain in this leg, and when i walk any distance or even a 50 yards i get excuriating pain in my leg, specific

Accepted Answer

It : It sounds like you had a very severe clot.  You do not mention a cause, but you are at risk of developing more clots.  I would assume you have had a discussion with your physician about the pros and cons of long-term anti-coagulation (blood thinning).  If not, you should do so.

It is possible you have another clot causing the pain, but i'm going to assume the pain is more chronic and not changing.

Post-dvt syndrome is very difficult.  The valves in the veins that keep blood from back-flowing are often damaged.  Blood tends to pool in the legs, making them swollen and sore.  Compression stockings are the mainstay of treatment, but you may need more or less compression than you are getting.  Have you tried different grades?  Are you using knee-high or thigh-high stockings?  Are they getting stretched out to where they are less effective?

If changing stockings doesn't help, you can try a regimen of elevation.  This would require physician supervision and time off to lay in bed with your foot above your heart.  Because you have increased clotting risk, you would still have to get up periodically to promote circulation and you may require blood thinners during that period.  Once the swelling goes down, increase activities in intervals as tolerated.

Anti-inflammatories may be helpful, but often cannot be mixed with blood thinners.  Talk to your physician about managing pain and inflammation with medications.

You may also have a second problem in addition to post-dvt syndrome, such as peripheral vascular disease.  A vascular surgeon might be helpful in evaluating your leg and giving you more advice.

Question 6

hi there...
i work in the hospitality industry and that generally means i stand and walk alot. for the past few nights iv had difficulty sleeping due to throbbing pains in my right leg all the way from my thigh to my ankle any idea what can relieve?

Accepted Answer

Leg pain: Generally tylenol and ibuprofen help with pains but more information is needed to make a proper diagnosis and treat it accordingly. Different medications can be tried if it is nerves related pain. Discuss it in detail with a physician if the problem persists.

Question 7

what would cause my right foot to "slap" the ground when i walk?  is it possible there is something wrong with my right leg? i can't control it.

Accepted Answer

Foot drop: This sounds like foot drop.  If recent, it may be temporary due to a nerve injury.  However, if this is ongoing, you should have it evaluated to determine if there is a more serious nerve or muscle injury.

Question 8

right leg has been feeling weird. feels as if ive been sitting in it for too long (mildly though) foot feels cold but not to the touch. no discoloration, swelling or pain. able to walk and move freely. ?

Accepted Answer

Leg funny feeling : Suspect your assessment is correct. If you sit in front of computer in a chair that puts pressure under your legs you may be blocking blood flow to a nerve(s) that sense feeling in leg. Try getting up every 20 min and walking around a bit.

Question 9

herniated disc means i am unable to walk due to weakness and pain in right leg and foot , i am on lots of medication but nothing stops the weakness and i am having to use a wheelchair for getting around or crutches for less than fifty metres, can anything

Accepted Answer

Surgery?: You sound as if you need to have steroid injection or even surgery contact a neurologist.

Question 10

when i plant my right foot to walk, i have a pain in my right buttock and when i lift my right leg it feels tight in groin area.?

Accepted Answer

I would recommend: An orthopedic consult there is definately something wrong. The problem may be nerve related like sciatica or tendinosis in origin and they would be able to determine this better on clinical exam.
