She can possibly have a blood clot if she didn't cause an injury to her leg or anything. Best let the dr check it out soon.

Pain in the lower leg can be caused by overuse, overexertion, or trauma from a fall or blow. The lower leg also can be affected by heart and circulatory diseases, such as congestive heart failure, or blood clots and inflammation in the veins of the legs.
For most lower-leg pain, use the RICE method and pain medications.
For chronic swelling in both legs without pain, try raising your legs. Call the doctor and ask if you need to be seen.
For shin splints, rest the leg for 3 to 6 days, then do only low-impact activities (bicycling, walking, swimming) to keep up strength and prevent recurrence. When the aching has gotten better, you can return slowly to your usual activities.
Wrap the ankle and shin with elastic wrap for support.
Achilles tendon stretches and exercises can be helpful to strengthen the front of the leg.
An ice massage four times a day can help. Freeze water in a paper cup, tear away the cup to expose the ice, and massage the ice over the painful area for 10 to 15 minutes.
Wear shoes with good support and cushioning. Replace your athletic shoes regularly to make sure they are not overly worn.

I consider Amy L that U have potassium deficiency. To treatment and do away with the discomfort, take an orange fruit (Citrus Fruit). Your physique is loss of potassium, that's the reason U bump into cramp. Orange incorporate intense potassium and as such, by ability of taking orange a minimum of as quickly as an week,it is going to help U to sidestep the cramp. provide a attempt. U will see the end bring about a rely of minutes.

Does she have varicose veins? Those things are painful and are visible! Tell her to visit her doc. in the mean time soak feet with warm (or as hot as she can tolerate it) water with Epsom salt!

Hi! If in the ankle it could be a sprain or tendonitis. If in calf, could be muscle ache from overuse. But I would ask a doctor because it could be a blood clot and could lead to a heart attack. Please call a doctor! God Bless!
