Question 1

left leg always seems cold?

Accepted Answer

Interesting: Trauma to a joint can make the whole leg cold.  You are a bit young to have a circulation problem.  If you have had trauma, or if the skin or nails change color, seek help and examination.

Question 2

my left leg is  1/2 to 1  inch smaller?

Accepted Answer

Don't know if: you mean in length or circumference.  The answer would depend on which.

Question 3

i am getting pain in back side of left leg?

Accepted Answer

Leg pain: Could be a number of things.  More information is necessary, but it is best you see your doctor.  If you have pain in the calf of the leg, swelling or both, see your doc immediately or go to the emergency room to rule out a serious problem such as a blood clot.

Question 4

my left leg for the pass 2 days is hurting me?

Accepted Answer

Need more detail.: I wonder where it hurts?  When does it hurt? What is the pain like? Are there any associated factors or symptoms? Can't begin to guess without detail.

Question 5

pain n my lower growin and go down n my left leg ?

Accepted Answer

Hip?: Just based on the location it might be your hip. Is the pain related to activities? Did it follow intense exercise- running, biking, etc?. Would suggest relative rest and further monitoring of your symptoms.

Question 6

what could be the cause of pain in my left leg only?

Accepted Answer

More info needed: So many things can cause leg pain that more information is really needed to give you a good answer. Any redness-maybe infection; swelling-maybe bloodclot, or varicose veins; injury/trauma-maybe muscle or bone problem;warmth-maybe gout or other kind of arthritis. And i really haven't begun to list everything. So, if the pain is bad or limiting your function, be seen to get a better answer.Good luck.

Question 7

left leg keeps on lifting its self up as i keep coughing?

Accepted Answer

Treat the cough: Your leg movement is likely a reflex action triggered by the cough. Do you have effective therapy for your cough? I  would start there. Hope that helps.

Question 8

im having pain in my left leg like a pulling pain what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Muscle cramp/strain : Your calf muscles (gastrocnemius and soleus) can become strained or partially torn from a single significant force/injury or from a cumulative effect from overuse. The muscles can cramp (contract), and feel tight. This would cause pain in the thicker area along the back of your leg. Rest, ice, ace wrap and decreased use should allow the tightness to subside. Stay hydrated to help prevent cramps.

Question 9

why is there a pain in my left leg only? it is the one i cross most

Accepted Answer

Many causes for pain: Usually crossing legs is not a cause of vein or circulation problems. Prolonged sitting or standing can aggravate vein problems, a hereditary problem. You can have vein problems in one leg only. Please see you doctor or see a vein specialist to determine the cause of pain.

Question 10

what to do if i have a pain in my lower left leg, what can this be the result of?

Accepted Answer

Several Thoughts: A blood clot usually results in a calf that is tender to palpation (grabbing and pinching the muscle). A radiculopathy is a pinched nerved in the back that causes radiating pain in the leg. A peroneal neuropathy is from an entrapped nerve near the knee and can cause pain in the lower leg. A baker's cyst is located behind the knee and can cause pain. All these are well described on the internet.
