Question 1

i have one leg shorter than the other if left one hurts? which one is shortest?

Accepted Answer

Leg length : The best way to tell is to stand barefoot and have someone put their hands on the top of your pelvis ( hips ) the lower hand is the shorter leg

Question 2

one leg feels heavier than the other and left calve feels hard. cause for concern?

Accepted Answer

Check it out: Uneven swelling is usually locally induced like a DVT.  Can easily be ruled out.

Question 3

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 4

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 5

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 6

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 7

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 8

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 9

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 10

left back of leg pain is worse lying down. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: You need to see a doctor for a thorough physical exam. The pain could be coming from pinched nerves in your back, nerve compression in the buttock or it could be bursa, joint or muscle pain. Too many variables here.
