Hello, My mother has been experiencing severe leg pain since August. This pain is occuring in one leg only. The calf is swollen (as compared to the other) and has an approx. 2 - 3 inch round red spot. She has been told that the pain is being caused by back issues and has subsequently had two epidorals which have given her some relief. Although she has mild lower back pain, the most severe pain is localized in her calf and continues to bother her. I, personally, don t believe that her back is the cause since the pain does not travel down through her thigh. Your thoughts. . .
