They wake me out of a sound sleep. For that short period of time the pain is severe. It leaves my calf muscles so sore that I limp when I first get out of bed.

Is it possible to get DVT in the thigh rather than the calf?
I have a strange lump at the top of my thigh. It is hard and tender. At first I thought it could be a spider bite, but I'm thinking it can't be and might be DVT (now that I've looked that up ).
I haven't flown recently and not on any medications.
I am overweight but I do get some exercise.
Thanks.

I have been getting sharp pains in my hands and arms. Heat is the only thing that helps. I have recently under gone two spinal epidural injections, and was supposed to have another one two days ago. I recently had a cortizone injection in the left knee. The doctor declined as I have been having tremors in my hands. I am currently taking diaretics and potassium. I am trying to stay away from the narcotics that the "pain specialists" are trying to give me. I would rather be in pain now than have a monkey on my back. I have been drinking planty of water, and taking my vitamins. (Cerefolin with NAC)

Any clues as to what could be causing this? I will be seeing my regular physician on Monday.

I have had these years ago, but not recently

I am trying to remove the tylenol from my lortab elixir because I have to take large doses for my surgery and my liver doesnt like the tylenol. I put the elixir in the freezr until it was real cold(not frozen) then poured it over a coffee filter I got all the white crytals in the filter and liquid in the cup. Are these crystals the tylenol? Did it work. Some people use the cold water extraction for pills and the tylenol turns to white crystals and is caught in the filter. So did this work? I hope so!

My right knee gets sore when I sit down. As time goes on in this position, pressure builds until I am forced to extend it rapidly so as to "crack" it. Once my knee returns to its position (calf approximately ninety degrees to femur), the cycle begins once again.

I can't keep it extended all the time, as I drive quite a bit.

My left knee doesn't have this problem.
