What Causes Pain In Leg?
I have pain in my left leg. It started a week ago as uncomfort in a 2 to 3 inch area on the backside of my knee. It has grown daily and now the pain runs all the way up to my groin and down to my calf on the backside of my leg. There is no rash or bruising just a moderatly severe pain. I sit at a desk daily and there was no trauma to my leg. It just appeared all of a sudden.
