Why would someone feel pain in their lower legs if they do not eat their normal amount?
Both answers from Karen Tiede and James Alexander are correct. I have experienced both. Pain is more often due to dehydration. Lack of Potassium or Magnesium causes cramps with severe pain in the middle of sleep.
Why does my body feel like a dull numbness?
The herb has something to do with it along with your current diet that might enhance your numbness. For instance, mixing nutmeg and ginseng into rice porridge will actually paralyze you, the ginseng enhances the effect of the nutmeg, especially if it is in oil form as nutmeg has natural properties to help you sleep from insomnia and relax your muscles from stress. This is just an example of an everyday ingredient for many folks in Asia in their cuisine. Western folks use nutmegs nowadays... But anyway, you must trace back to the original food that you last ate before you felt this dull numbness. Whatever after the numbness has its potential effect of attempt-paralyzing you.
PLEASE HELP!! My legs ache so bad... what is going on?
When I was 23, I was as fit as I could be; I hit the gym 5 days a week; Active all the time. I loved it. When I was 25, my legs started to ache. They ached so bad, I couldn't even describe it to my husband ~ certified fitness trainer. My workouts continued to be the same with mixing up cardio. It drove me insane. When I was 26, after giving birth to my daughter, I went down on the floor to change a diaper and I couldn't get up. My backside hurt so bad. I went to the doctor with numerous tests. Long story short, I have ANKLOSING SPONDYLITIS. It's hereditary, but this past generation isn't talking about it. My mother was diagnosed the same year and she's 30 years older than me. It's an arthritis. I'm not saying that this is what you have, but I would definitely ask your doctor about it. There is a blood test for some arthritis. A lot of diagnosis are diagnosing "fibromyalgia" first and then as the symptoms progress and there is more evidence, then an arthritic or auto immune will be disclosed. Heat ~ hot tub, steam room, sauna AND stretch out your hamstrings slowly trying to touch your toes. If you do this 3 days a week, then you can start with your shins one day, your ankles another week, and your feet another week and eventually you'll touch past your toes. Hot tub leg is great to help pull your chest down to your legs. Also, lie on your back at home and bend one knee back to your face and hold 20 seconds, then do the other leg, and finally both together for 30 seconds. In the same position, on the floor, you can pull both knees to your chest and gently rock side to side rolling on the backside. This helps stretch out your back and legs. I'm guessing the pain may stem from your sacrioilliac joint, coccyx (tailbone), or sacrum belt. I would see a doctor who may prescribed a anti-inflammatory to see if it'll hit the pain. It could be Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or a stronger prescription like Celebrex. I've been on Celebrex since it was approved in Canada 2000 and no worries other then water retention. I hope this information is helpful and informative and not scary. It's better to know than not know and it's easier to treat once you know what course of direction to take. Good Luck.
Leg pain behind knee, scared about DVT :( help?
I was laying in bed, went to the bathroom, came back and laid back down and got a sudden pain behind my knee. It was like a dull, but sharp shooting pain behind it. It would happen randomly, and would also be set off by certain movements. My thigh and calf now feels a bit weird but I don't know if that's just the anxiety making it worse :( it is not red or swollen or hot to the touch. I just poked in under my bum cheek and got a pain in my thigh now which I am also worrying about :( I have anxiety, especially over my health, and clots are one of my worst fears. I suffer from sciatica down this leg at times too. I am 17, have no history of clots in my family and I don't think I'm in a high risk group for anything else either. Please help :( It's nearly 6am and I just want to get to sleep!
I’ve had some knee pain (dull, 6/10) for a few days and it hurts more when I walk. I’m starting to get lower leg pain (on and off) and some tingling in my foot like it’s going numb. What could be causing this?
I really wish I could because I have these symptoms. You would think I had written this. I have fibromyalgia, MS, ,arthritis. And a multitude of diseases that cause tingling, numbness, swelling, damage to the discs in my lower back. All these have been diagnosed by a multitude of doctors, not me. So please do not think I am self diagnosing. After all these docs, I am just seeing a pain mgmt doc cause the latest ailment is stage 4 breast cancer. I still refuse to believe it all. Oh, i figure having a sense of humor is my best med. and I do not have to submit all those damn stupid forms, that only an informed “insider” knows how to handle to do it. I just stack them up and figure someone will do it at some future date. Too much for me to handle. I just do not like it, don’t have to, refuse to, worked for me for the past 15–20 years, don’t really need more, don’t really want more. Love my life, my friends, my husnabd, of course, the dog, you all, in general, everything. Life is great, it is fun, look for the good stuff, we are all gonna have aches and pains.Go to the doc, get a good diagnosis. Probably something from the back, or from the knee. He’s gotta get x-rays, some tests, in order to find out why you have the symptoms. I know why I have mine. But at my age, you gotta have everything. Good luck to you.
Random Leg aches and pains?
I haven't overly exercised today but my legs (shins, knees and kind of thigh area) are aching(not exercise pain). I don't know where it has come from, it is quite a dull ache, my shoes today were just flats (what I usually wear) the ache is mainly around my knee and is quite dull, I am kinda young too so I could be growing? But not sure what it is.
