Doctor insights on: Burning Sensation In Calf Muscle Symptoms

Do you have varicose: Veins in the leg, if you do, this could be superficial phlebitis, if you do not it could muscular origin, both you could treat with Motrin and moist heat. If did not go away check with your doctor.

Baker's cyst: Time to see an Orthopedic surgeon!

Circulation: Seek an evaluation to specifically determine if your symptoms are arterial vs venous in nature. Particularly, do they get better or worse with ambulation vs rest? Are you diabetic?

See your MD: With a history that complex you'll need to see a doctor who can listen, examine, and test you.

Pyriformis Syndrome: ? sciatica absent back pain. This symptom pattern is compatible with pyriformis syndrome, but not exclusively. An Osteopath might be consulted for a diagnosis.

Don't know: I have never heard of burning in forearm veins unless something has been injected into them. Assuming you are not doing that (and maybe especially if you are) then you should see a clinician to find the cause of this and the leg cramps. Probably need blood tests as well. Meanwhile, keep your arms above your heart level and try some heat on them as well as your leg muscles to see if it helps.

No: No.

Muscle or nerve: Muscle 'pulls' or strains can be irritated when you stretch or use the muscle. Tight muscles can also pull on the local nerves causing burning with stretch. Other times, nerve irritation can cause burning when the leg is pulled. A physiatrist or doctor of physical medicine and rehabilitation can help determine the cause and recommend treatment.

Lower and pain: If based on diet, doubt just a pulled muscle, could be bowel related. More info would be needed

Eval: Please ask your parents to schedule a visit with a child/adolescent psychiatrist. If you don't want to do that then i'd recommend the counselor at your school. If you can't do that then find an adult that you trust and ask them to assist you in arranging an eval or getting you into counseling.

Need treatments: Colonoscopy will show only colon tumors not bowel cancers, small bowel cancers are less common, difficult to diagnose, most of the time not diagnosed in early stages, from what you are telling, your problem appear to be nutritional need to take more calories, seek the advise of your treatment team, .

Thigh burning: Consider sensory nerve impingement--possible nerve compression or tight clothing. Called meuralgia paresthetica.

Depends: Some conditions, the rash appears later. May be a nerve related issue? May be a muscle problem as well (e.g. Tendon injury). If the pain is severe, i'd have your regular doctor give it a check out.

B12: Neuropathies (nerve pain), cognitive problems and fatigue are the main symptoms that I see. The rash is probably not due to the B12 deficiency.

Interpretation: May well represent a muscular hamstring strain/sprain, but radiation down leg could be a sciatica. Might wonder about piriformis syndrome or discogenic issue in lower back. Sacro-iliac dysfnctn could also cause this. Might have your doctor exam and suggest approaches.

MRI brain with FLAIR: The facial tingling and response to hot shower is concerning. Your neurologist will want to do a good exam and get an MRI of the head to exclude MS or clinically isolated syndrome.

Calf discomfort: One possibility is congestion in the calf veins which builds up during the day's activity on your feet. Elevating the leg should relieve that discomfort, however. Irritability of calf nerves or muscles may be a cause. A blood clot in a calf vein usually is accompanied by swelling and tenderness. It's best to have a physician examine your leg and, if deemed advisable, get an ultrasound of the veins

Deep phlebitis: Get an ultrasound study.

Probably not: ? What caused the bruise? But most bruises hurt the blood in there causes some discomfort on it's own this should clear up pretty rapidly hot soaks help as does wrapping it with plastic wrap at bed time to increase the blood flow and speed the clearing of the hematoma.
