Question 1

i am having lami &foraminal decompression  for the burning pain inleft leg.
what is? and what is done? have burning pain in leg for 8 months

Accepted Answer

The pinched nerve(s): Are released by removing the back wall of the spinal canal( in which the cord is located)
{ie laminectomy to allow removal of the disc that has slipped out}, while foraminotomy (or f. Decom.) is the widening of the canal in which the nerve is located {as it comes out from the cord}, by removing bone from  around the nerve, and this should relieve your leg pains.

Question 2

i have burning pain in leg, blood clot, what do you recommend?

Accepted Answer

See the doctor: A blood clot in the leg is potentially dangerous, as it can travel to the lung. This needs to be checked by a health care professional right away.

Question 3

coming and going mild burning pain in leg and very mild feeling of pulling a muscle. would a dvt be most likely red and swollen?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: A calf with a DVT can be red and swollen but it certainly doesn't have to be.  Redness with dvts is actually fairly uncommon.  Swelling and pain is more typical but sometimes you might only have one or the other or neither.  If you have concerns that you might have a dvt, you should get it checked out.

Question 4

had risky sex with csw 14 mnth back.had 30+ hiv 4th gen tests and all neg. have polyneuropathy burning pain in leg, hand & feet. is this hiv ?

Accepted Answer

See your neurologist: The only way to know for sure on etiology of your symptoms is to see your neurologist, who can do a thorough evaluation of other risk factors in addition to HIV.  Without having more history and a physical examination, it is at best difficult to assess any causes of a neuropathy.

Question 5

pain in leg and burning sensation occasionally?

Accepted Answer

Circulation: It could be that the blood flow to this region decreses.
Antistax is a OTC that can be used but if able to see a doctor for a checkup i recomend paroven 250mg capsules 60 1 capsule two times per day.

Question 6

recently increased exercise and was having isolated pain in leg. now i have an intense, on and off burning pain in my chest. blood clot? 21, active.

Accepted Answer

Need evaluation: It would be prudent to see your doctor for an in-person evaluation. You may be exercising too hard for your physiology. Sometimes exercise worsens asthma.

Question 7

burning constant pain in chest across shoulders left arm and elbow also a lot of lower back pain left calf pain in leg when positioned certain way?

Accepted Answer

Burning pain: Burning pain usually denotes nerve etiology. But your symptoms may be related to multiple problems. Chest pain is a red flag and should be checked promptly.

Question 8

2 weeks ago my lower back went out.  sunday, went for a walk on the treadmill. monday, went for a long drive. i had a sharp burning pain on the back of my leg behind my knee that went down my calf. today theres bruising on my inner thigh?

Accepted Answer

Calf pain ?'s: Calf pain with bruising can indicate rupture of a calf muscle or even a blood clot in the lower leg.  See your physician for an exam and imaging which may include ultrasound measurements of venous blood flow and other treatments.

Question 9

i have a sharp/burning pain in lower backrighr ride at waist line that travles down front of right leg.

Accepted Answer

Burning pain: You could have a disk/nerve problem.  Go see your doctor.

Question 10

i turned and twisted my right knee 2week later knelt down burning pain and sharp pain up leg?

Accepted Answer

Knee vs back?: From this description, it is hard to say for sure. Your prior knee event suggests maybe and injury to the soft tissues outside, or inside the knee. The burning and sharp pain up leg may not fit well with this, yet a more detailed history and physical exam would be useful with your PCP, an orthopedist, or Physiatrist.

In meantime, consider anti-inflammatories (if ok for you to take), ice, rest.
