A member asked:

I hurt my leg a year ago and when i take a shower my leg feels tight some times when i move my legs i feel slight burn pain in different places?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Tightness: Tightness in the leg can be due to fluid build up or the sensation can be from irritability of superficial nerves in the skin. If it's fluid retention there would be fluctuation of calf size. If you have further concerns, see your physician for evaluation and advice.
