Hi guys,

Just looking for some advice, been having leg troubles for a year although the last 6 months have been worse.
I've got swelling in my right calf, noticable swelling. people often ask me if I'm aware 'I have one leg bigger than the other' lol.
I've also been getting a pain on the right inner thigh, like pressure wanting to explode, imagine if u tied a knot in a hose pipe.
Have had 2 blood tests to check for DVT but both were negative. Next DR thought it could be fibroid causing pain so i had a u/sound on pelvis. All was fine.
I've also recently tested positive for gluten sensitivity and low iron count.

My leg is being u/sounded in the next few weeks, but I have had 3 doctors, a pysio, 2 instructors at my gym look at it and all just scratch their heads but agree its a problem.

It is not caused by working out. I had this before i joined the gym & I usually walk alot.
Work is sitting at a reception desk.

I'm just really down. I feel like my leg is turning to stone. :(

This causes left calf swelling, it's due to an artery being compressed, i would ask your doctor about it if all the tests come back clear.
