What Causes Sporadic Pain In Legs Leading To Sleeplessness?
Your symptoms seem to be related to a neurological disorder
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for asking on HCM!
I understand your concern, and would like to explain that your symptoms seem to be related to a neurologic condition called polyneuropathy.
I would like to have some more information about your complains:
-Is this pain like a burning sensation? Do you have difficulty with your gait balance in dark places? (These complain would be indicative for polyneuropathy)
-Have you noticed any leg swelling? (amlodipine can cause leg swelling and pain form the distension)
-Do you feel an urge to continuously move your feel while lying down and this relieves your symptoms? (These complain would be indicative for restless leg syndrome).
I would exclude a possible peripheral artheriopathy or a spinal canal compression based on your symptomatology (as in both these disorders, the pain is exacerbated by walking).
I recommend consulting with a neurologist for a careful physical examination and a nerve conduction study ( electroneurography) to exclude possible peripheral polyneuropathy.
Further blood lab tests are needed to find the possible causes:
- complete blood count
- thyroid hormone levels
- kidney and liver function tests
- fasting glucose
- blood electrolytes
- vitamine B12 plasma levels
- uric acid plasma levels, etc.
Hope to have been helpful!
Feel free to ask any other questions, whenever you need !
Best wishes,
