leg pain???

Question

i have recently been in 2 (medium) car accidents and sustained a couple of injuries. partially torn acl and miniscus in both knees. it has been 4 months since i was given a clean bill of health, but i still have from mild discomfort to a very aggravating pain in my legs (not necessarily always my knees) . my shins are always very sensitive to touch. if i bump them into something, lightning type pain at times. i was told i have a small cyst in both knees and was told it is no big deal, hmm. I have flat feet and wear orthodix. i have been limping for over a year and have even lost a job. anybody relate???

also my legs are usually cold or colder than my upper half by quite a bit the area round the shin bone especially is always cold. circulation, right, but why the throbbing pain?

Answer 1

Because of the accidents you have had that caused injuries it's very possible that you may be showing signs of arthritis. I would recommend getting a consultation with a rheumatologist (a doctor that diagnoses and treats diseases and disorders that relate to bones and joints) if you haven't already to get their input.

I started having problems with arthritis when I was a teen because of injuries to my leg, one of them caused by a bruise from having a car door close back on my left leg.
