What Causes Pain In Knee, Calves And Ankles?
Question: when I stand or walk I feel little to no pain, but when I lie down I feel intense pain from right below the knee, the calves and ankles. what could this suggest?
Brief Answer:
Possible Venous disorder?Need Colour Doppler scan.
Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,
I understand your concern.
You possibly seem to have peripheral vascular disease.
This could be rest pain indicating a possible venous disorder.
All you need is an early Colour Doppler Duplex Scan.
A venous thrombus has to be ruled out.
A mixed arterial and venous disorder is also a possibility.
Past surgical history on knee is not related to your current issue.
Further management is based on test results.
Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
