Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Suddenly two nights ago, my left leg started hurting so bad I couldn t sleep. Fortunately, I had some pain pills left over from dental surgery. I took two pills to kill the pain enough to sleep. I still have the pain. This is totally new for me, I m stymied as to what it could be. I m going to find an Urgent Care office and go in tomorrow.
Hi Welcome to healhcaremagic After going through your query I concluded that you may be having muscle cramps or vein thrombosis. You can get your venography of left leg to further investigate. You can also get your vitamin B12 and vitamin D3 done to rule out their deficiencies. Till then treatment of it is rest to limb and analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. You can discuss your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
