Hiya all, don't know if you remeber my post a few months back over having an ache in my calf, well its all over my right leg now!!
Brief history : Pulled my calf doing boxercise in Jan which was hurting, got gradullay worse so I went to the hospital, blood tests showed it wasn't a clot. Gradually faded to a dull ache that comes and goes.
Ache started in front of my thigh (same leg) 2 weeks ago. Can also run down the back and into knee, Can also be in bum and back so was thinking sciatica ??
Senarios as to what I think might be causing it BEFORE I start traning my brain that its something sinister :
My last 2 children were large 11lb 3 and 8 lb 11 with quick births and I have had lower back trouble since having them. I get very stiff in lower back espcially turning over in bed, getting out of chair or getting up when I have been on floor so was wondering if it could be connected?
Scatica: I have read you can have it in front of thigh too? But not usually longer than 6 weeks so this would mean something else with the calf !
I have a new laptop which is quite heavy and I rest in on my legs alot sometimes every night for about 4 hours! Could this have caused ache in thighs?
I am on my feet alot, espcially in my job where I do alot of bending, stretching and heavy lifting. I try to walk everywhere too.
Maybe my shoes? Too flat?
Any suggestions or information would be great espcially if you have suffered from this yourself.
I don't want to automatically go to my DR as I have been so good and not had to go since Jan. But if you think I really have to I will.
So many tks for reading this :)
