What Causes An Indent On The Outer Calf Of The Leg?
with a dx of fibromygia last fall, my pcp sent me back to the rheumy today because of new leg sensations and a finger sized dimple in the upper outer calf of the more effected leg. the rheumy said it sounds like a neuralgia but wants to wait for blood labs to come back before sending me to neuro. he mentioned that he was ordering an emg and wont be sure what else until the blood labs come back. what exactly are they looking for?

Hello
I have studied your case.
There is probably involvement of deep vein thrombosis.
colour doppler may help in diagnosis.
yes EMG NCV study will help if neurological involvement is suspected.
Physiotherapy like ten and matrix may help you.
