Question 1

good day

i just want to find out if it is normal to have pain and slight cramping in my calf 2-3 months after blood clot?

Accepted Answer

Not normal: Pain and cramps are not normal. However, it is not feasible to say if it is serious or not, without examining you. It would be prudent to contact your doctor.
Have a healthy diet, exercise, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.

Question 2

pain in the back of knee that feels like a constant cramp/ slight pulling sensation. also swelling of inide/bottom of knee &ancle/calf post hyperexten?

Accepted Answer

Overuse injury: is a possibility depending on your level of activity.  With symptoms such as cramping, pulling and swelling that are not subsiding, I recommend getting examined for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

Question 3

i'm a 31 year old woman who has been diagnosed with mild venous insufficiency my calf is cramping radiating to my thigh could this be a dvt

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Always something to think about. If you are at risk and have pain and swelling, be seen and have a Doppler US when available. If your doctor is worried about a DVT, he/she may start a blood thinner. All the best.

Question 4

can a slipped lumbar disk cause sharp calf, arch cramps, occasional line of pain down back of leg, occasional numbness in calf with mild cramping?

Accepted Answer

Lumbar Radiculopathy: Is the term for the dermatomal pattern of the pain you've described and is your age most commonly caused by a protruded (slipped disc) pinching the nerve at its root before entering your legs. See your doctor for more tips and treatment.

Question 5

so i been having right leg pain for a month now it is off and on it started in the back of my thigh after a hamstring cramp and since then its moved around as far as into my calf. its mild and last few days its been in my hip. what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It could be due to electrolyte imbalance resulting in muscle cramps. Try taking fruit juice with a little added salt. If a 3-4 days of this does not help, it would be prudent to see a doctor. 
Wish you good health!

Question 6

had a cramp in calf then it moved to my butt cheek. then mild pain from butt to foot. now leg feels numbish. i have mild sciatica in other leg.see dr?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Pregnant women often have sciatic pain, and in most cases it will improve.  If the pain has lasted more than 2-3 weeks, discuss it with your OB.  Some Physical Therapy may help, or mild pain medication.  Surgery is very rarely needed at this point.

Question 7

is mild cramps and leg pains any sign of ovulation or pregnancy ?

Accepted Answer

General symptoms...: Having some muscle cramps and/or having some leg aches are considered "general symptoms" and not specific to ovulation or to a new pregnancy. That means women can get these symptoms whether or not they are ovulating, and whether or not they are newly pregnant. If symptoms persist or are bothersome, one's primary care doctor can take a look to help figure out the cause.

Question 8

what would cause leg cramps or mild pain two days after strenuous walking of several miles?

Accepted Answer

Overuse: Most of these cramps come from overuse of muscles or tendon strain. Drink lots of liquids, use electrolyte solutions and try whirlpools, massage of affected muscles. Also check your shoes and/or orthotics if you plan to do strenuous walking on a regular basis. These are often overlooked areas that can mean a lot.

Question 9

i'm six weeks pregnant and had some mild cramps on my left side (ovary) and leg cramps also same side is this a sign of ectopic ?

Accepted Answer

Get an ultrasound: Cramps can be normal but pain and bleeding would be abnormal and so if your symptoms get worse, you should get seen by a doctor. No matter what though, an ultrasound is important to simply date and diagnose your pregnancy, making sure that it is within the uterus.

Question 10

clear+stretchy cervical mucus at cycle day 10, 11. had left leg mild (pms like) cramps on cd 8. no cm at all at cd 12(today)could i be ovulating today?

Accepted Answer

Ovulation: Ovulation occurs consistently about 14 days before your next cycle. If you know how many days there are from the first day of the bleeding to the next during your normal cycle just subtract 14 days. This allows you to predict when you should be ovulating.  Cervical mucous is not very accurate. Home ovulation kits available at any pharmacy may be more helpful.
