Accepted Answer

Cipro (ciprofloxacin) : Tendon injuries have been associated with this class if antibiotics .  What is more important is to rule out a deep venous thrombosis in your leg before you travel . Please contact the doctor that prescribed the medication.

Question 2

what to do if i have dull aching pain in legs after cycling?

Accepted Answer

Lactic Acidosis: Many times during exercise, your body starts to produce energy anaerobically instead of oxygen  causing lactic acidosis.  If this happens you will get sore muscles after the event.  Usually this will go away in a few hours to a few days.  Stay hydrated, it will help. You could also be having sciatica, compartment syndrome, etc which needs evaluations.  Hard to say without evaluation.

Question 3

pain in legs after eating food and feeling sleepy and even after 2-2.5 hours sleep felling pain in legs as well as other muscles too and can't control my sleep i don't know why? this happns after every meal.

Accepted Answer

Unusual: Not a common complaint, but there are still multiple possibilities.  A basic medical check up and blood work to look for things like diabetes, renal and liver disease would be appropriate way to start.

Question 4

Uh...: There is no particular reason honey should be good for leg pain. Are you talking about eating it or rubbing it on your leg?  Either way, there is nothing special about honey that can fix leg pain.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

No: Bartholin cysts are near the vagina and can cause discomfort in that area, but not leg pain. Persistent symptoms can be treated by a gynecologist.

Question 6

is there leg pain with diverticulitis?

Accepted Answer

No: That would not be from diverticulitis.

Question 7

do high heels cause back and leg pain?

Accepted Answer

They can: If you have vein disease in your legs, you can have them treated and wear fun colorful support stockings after to maintain vein health and good circulation. Support stockings have helped my legs. Wearing high helps can change your posture and add strain with prolonged standing. See a orthopedic doc for your back and a phlebologist for your legs. Our nurses wear heels with support stockings- helps.

Question 8

what is the no. 1 reason for leg pain ?

Accepted Answer

Leg pain: #1 reason is pulled muscle. Then sciatica from a tight muscle or  back muscles tightening on the nerves coming down to the leg.

Question 9

should i take electrolytes for leg pain?

Accepted Answer

Leg pain: has many many causes and taking electrolytes without a medical professional's opinion as to what electrolyte is "lacking" causing your pain is NOT a good idea!

In short...NO

Hope this helps
