How To Treat Pain While Crossing Legs Or Ankles?
I have very uncomfortable pain when crossing my legs or ankles. Even if I cross my legs at the calf the muscle is sore and I must uncross after a minute or so. I am on Warfarin, Simvastatin, Spiractin & Prexum - could this be a si effect? I am a 68 year old male.
Many thanks

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
With such presentations in my clinic, I would first reassure you as this is only crampy muscular pain in thigh muscles. I advise you to avoid leg crossing for long period and to recieve muscle relaxant and NSAID.
