What Is Causing The Pain From My Toe To Hip?
I got shin splints about 3 weeks ago. I stopped running altogether and since then it has gotten steadily worse. I am achy from my big toe to my hip. It hurts even to stand. I am thinking it may be a stress fracture somewhere, but any weight bearing hurts. It also hurts to squeeze the back of my calf (seems like it s the back of my calf), the inner knee hurts and there is achiness from my hip down. I have not run at all, but I do walk a lot at work, so I am wondering if that is making it worse. I can t see an orthopedic for 3 weeks and the pain is getting worse. Please help.

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to sciatica pain.
Sciatica usually affects only one side of the lower body. Often, the pain extends from the lower back all the way through the back of the thigh and down the leg.
I recommend using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain.
I also suggest gentle stretching exercises.
If the symptoms continue, I suggest to see a neurologist and get evaluated.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
