I wake up with the pain and sometimes limp when i get out of bed. When i sit, i tend to lean to the right so as not to put pressure on my left leg. It's been about a week. It feels good to lay down and elevate my leg as long as nothing is putting pressure on it. It feels like it is swollen too. Anyone know what this could be? I will be making an appt with a doctor, but it is usually at least a week before you can get into a dr around here...

Also - it feels better when I stretch my leg. I get alot of relief that way.

I had the exact same symptoms in my left leg, it got worse & worse, really bad in the mornings, sitting sideways. It got to the point where I could not walk, drive, tie my shoes.There were good days when I felt nothing and bad days, very bad days. Everyone told me it was my back, I said "No, it's my leg, my back is fine." After a year of intense disabling pain I had a MRI and it was a disc in my back (which can affect every limb in your body). I had back surgery and my leg was immediately & permanently fine, but boy does my back hurt now. Good luck!!!

That sounds undesirable. i don't have comparable warning signs, yet my mom had comparable warning signs in her ft and she or he had to have surgical treatment. They bumped off the nerve endings in all of her ft as a results of fact of a few degenerative ailment. I truthfully have inherited it although. you may tell via the way your ft look. The nerves truthfully ball up on your ft and reason your ft to twist in. it particularly is unusual. It seems such as you have a topic which incorporate your hip and leg although-any contemporary lower back injuries or siatic injuries? Your hip and leg ought to don't have something to do with the burning, hurting ft. they may well be 2 unrelated matters. i might in simple terms shop going to docs. i comprehend it sucks, yet now and lower back that's what you will possibly desire to do to get solutions. possibly attempt a podiatrist on your ft and notice what they say. it would help some!

it might be a pinched nerve. sounds like the schiatic nerve. this happens to me every so often because of the way I stand. you can either go to the chiropractor, or find someone to massage it out... ususally a professional. it is a painful process but it can be done
