Pain in my leg..shin bone?

[billyandsarah99]

I have a question. For at least the last year if not longer I have been getting really bad pains in my right lower leg. Like on the shin. If you run your hand up or down my my shin bone you can feel little knots. Sometimes from my ankle to my thigh will hurt, sometimes it just seems to be my shin bone. I have been to my dr. for this and he asked if I do alot of running. I told him no, he said I was having bone pain for somereason but he didn't know why. So he gave me a pres. for 30 viocdins and sent me away. In the last couple of days my legs have been bruising real easy, but the bruises do not hurt. All except for a couple of them are real small bruises, like fingerprints. I have 32 bruises on my right leg and 21 on my left. Can you tell me what this might be from?
Also I do have an old injury on my right foot. 10 yrs ago a horse stepped on my foot and they said it had bruised my bone. It happened on a Fri. and they said by Mon I would be off of crutches. It took me 8 weeks before I was able to go off of them. There is still some discoloration and it is very sens. I have went to several specialtist for this. None seemed to have the same opionion. One said rhumatiod arthritis, one said Lupus, one said it would heal over time, and one said that it was nerve damage and if he could find out which nerve he would do surgery to correct it.
Could these problems be from this? The only thing is my foot never hurts when my leg does.
Thanks

It sounds like a form of vericose veins.  The veins are breaking and creating the bruising.  The knots may be the veins becoming tangled in their attempt to create new veins to bypass a blocked vein. These are not always "seen" on the skin like most vericose veins. See an orthopedist who specializes in vericose veins. If your doc is determined that your problem is a nerve related one, see a neurologist first for a nerve conduction study just to be sure. If there is no nerve damage, see the ortho for vericose veins.  Good luck

The dr. I have now isn't to bright...he was the one that said I was having bone pain but didn't know why and just gave me pain pills...
A dr. a long time ago said the thing about the nerve damage in my foot...I had went to him when I was younger b/c for years after my foot getting hurt it would still swell sometimes and to this day is still discolored...
But when my leg hurts my foot doesn't, but I still wasn't sure if the two were related...
I didn't know that about varicose veins...thanks hun..

I have tinea that has moved from toenail into joint behind in the right big toe.  THen it moved into ankle, and then further up leg into knee.  The pain is bad and cripples my walking.  

Unfortunately the GP (General Practioner) programme here in Western australia teaches Doctors nothing.  So doctors here say "you know more than me" on just about every occassion you visit them... no matter what is wrong with you...Its very sad.....

Anyway - what are the treatments,  I dont want to be like the individuals in India that have their leg amputated.

thanks

Hi. I have the same problem and currently doing some research on the pain in the legs.  Suspect that it's related to Oedema.  Not a disease but might be a sympton of other underlying problem

Over the last couple months I have this stabbing like pain on my right leg near the shin bone. It happens at night during rest and it comes and goes. I might not have it for days and then one night there it is again. I can not touch the muscle next to the shin bone to make it hurt.feels like it is bone related. I walk 2 miles every day but have been doing this for years so I don't feel it is excerise related.. Any thoughts?
