calf and ankle problems
by evilemmy, Nov 07, 2009 07:20PM
I'm a 25 year old woman over the duration of the last week and a half i've been experiencing odd sensation in my right leg. It started with what felt like a pulled hamstring tightness in the back of the right knee on the left side and excercising helped a bit. Since then I've developed what feels like a tight muscle from the middle of my thigh on the inner leg right down to the calf muscle along with the continuing tight feeling in my knee and hamstring area. I notice it eases up when I'm walking but if I'm sat still it gets worse I also have a tight feeling in my ankle which makes me want to tuck it under to relieve the feeling.. I have not noticed any swelling or rash in my leg. There hasn't been any discolouration but every once in a while at the same time as the leg pain i get a slight hip ache which I assume is from trying to accomadate the knee issue. I'm not overweight at the moment but I can't recall any injuries that may have excurbated these symptoms aside of stretching my legs to ease the tight feeling in the back of my knee
I've lost an incredable amount of weight in the last 2 years.To be honest I've been bugging myself over this mysterious pain. Whether this will help any a few weeks ago my knee when i bent down made a really loud popping noise and locked this happened twice from the back area of my knee then popped back into place i'm not sure if this would relate in anyway to this new experience. I also suffer from Ataxia which flares up with co-ordination problems. I'd be grateful for any imput and sorry for the long post

This most probably may be any ligament damage in your knee and as you should go for an examination near an orthopedician.
The hamstrings have to be checked for proper functionality, along with your calf muscles (gatrocnemius and soleus) and the ankle joint.
Follow up with your neurologist for the ataxia problem and it may aggravate these symptoms and also he will examine to find out any nerve involvement, spinal injury or sciatica which may mimic your symptoms.
Take care!
