What Is The Treatment Of Leg Pain While Pressing ?
I am concerned about the front on my right leg, as it is causes pain when I apply any pressure (however slight). It is only on the bottom half of the leg. There is no visible redness or swelling (although my legs and ankles tend to swell in the heat). I have noticed a couple of mosquito bites at my ankle but the pain is further up (more around shin). I have had superficial DVT about 22 years ago and am concerned that this could be a venous problem as it has a path of sensitivity which you can follow with your finger up the leg below the knee. I have had it for about 4 days now.

Hello,
As a first line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.
If symptoms persist you can consult an orthopedician and plan for an MRI scan.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
