Have Pain In Leg, Radiating To Calf, Difficulty In Bearing Weight. Underlying Cause
Hi, I am a 50y/o woman with right leg pain, seems to start in inner thigh and radiate into the knee and also into my calf. The whole leg aches and weight bearing is painful. There is no visible swelling and no heat. I do not feel any swollen veins on palpitations but I am no doctor. This began suddenly today in the afternoon and has not resolved. No injury. I just want to r/o the possibility of a DVD. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Kelly Marks

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having some degenerative changes in your lower vertebrae giving rise to Sciatica type of pain.
Go go for x-ray lumbo-sacral region.
If require consult orthopedic surgeon and get examined.
Meanwhile you may take some analgesic and B1, B6, B12 tablets.
Ok and take care.
