Question 1

pain, burning, tingling in back with leg pain. what could this be? my left leg also feels real heavy and hurts when i bend it.

Accepted Answer

There : There are many possible causes of back and leg pain including herniated disk pinching leg nerve, tightness in the spine (spinal stenosis) and broken back bone.  I would recommend consultation with your primary care doctor or a spine pain doctor or surgeon for further assessment and investigation.  Good luck!

Question 2

had 2 ultrasounds; left leg (hip to knee) to rule out dvt. test normal. now i'm having sharp pain/burning in upper and middle back can it be a clot?

Accepted Answer

DVT: Its good news that the ultrasounds were negative for deep vein thrombosis.  More typically what we worry about is bits of clot breaking off and traveling to and lodging in the lung (pulmonary embolism).  The presentation can vary...but this is mostly experienced as rapid onset of shortness of breath and chest pain.  Pain in the back is not a typical presentation for a clot.

Question 8

are growing pains real? during teen years severe shin pain just above ankle to mid-shin both legs front only, only at night. so bad at times it hurt to walk. burning ache. quit about age 20. have them again now, sporadically. what could cause this?

Accepted Answer

: While growing our bones will grow quicker than muscles.  Thus you develop an imbalance requiring stretching of the muscles.   As we get older and more sedentary in life our muscles will become tight thus requiring stretching   Everyone is different in their flexibility. Recommend seeing a physical therapist and develop a plan.

Limb on leg: Sounds like it might be phlebitis, that's doctor talk for a small clot in a superficial vein.  They are a nuscience more than a serious problem but probably should show it to your doctor for confirmation
