my husband was suffering from some siatic nerve pain at times(running down the entire back of his leg) and calf pain at random times with no injury attached to it, and the doctors never have been able to tell him what it is other than it being a chronic condition that now comes and goes. He won't eat bananas but he discovered drinking lots of water and taking vitamins with magnesium in them helps lesson the frequency and intensity of them. Hope this helps.
I would consider going to a chiropractor i use to step crooked when the muddy tread marks got dried out i would twist my knee or ankle and not realize it until i tried to step again and i felt like my foot or knee would give out , are you a high heel or flat shoe person lots of times you need to change your footwear or try one shoe on one shoe off now i swear by absorbine jr its near the benegay stuff i like blue stuff emu base , or biofreeze if you can sit down in a chair and with your hand try to make circles with your ankle it should snap an pop if its out of alignment which can cause this burning sensation or hold your knee cap with your finger tips and swing your knee out you may feel something move its amazin how a little thing can cause such grief for our bodies drinking propel gatorade stuff might help try tonic water with quionine you could be lacking or dehydrated i am experiencing left leg calf cramps i had a low vit d so you can try this its at walmart
i had a similar sounding complaint which finally got worse and worse and turned out to be a prolapsed disk pressing on the sciatic nerve. this didnt show up on an x-ray but did on a scan. what helped me was to put an ice pack on the base of my spine for about 10 - 15 minutes and then apply a heat rub (tiger balm,heatol etc). Try resting and no impact activities. i didnt rest and ended up on my back for 7 months but luckily no surgery just a steroid epidural.
hope this is of any help
Did you get xrays? It could be an injury even though you may not be able to pinpoint it you could have been hurt climbing stairs or even bending over the wrong way. I know of a guy who ruptured several disc in his back and neck by simply bending over to pick up a chlds toy. It is very easy to hurt yourself and not even realize you have done so. I would recommend more test and maybe a orthopedist. ( for gve my spelling spell check is not working). I would seek some help though even if you just go to your PCP.
I do hope your feeling better soon!
Oh you may also want to eat some bannanas of another food with high potassium because it helps keep your muscles healthy while you wait to see your DR and drink alot of water incase your dehydrated.
Dehydration can cause alot of muscle and joint pain,
Hi palps
Have you been able to make an app. with your DR?
My first thought before you said it wasnt exersize related was that you pulled your hamstring or muscle somehow.
Even if you exersize everyday and work the muscles often its possible to still injur it without knowing.
My advice is to have your DR look at it and in the mean time get some epsom salts and dissolve them in a hot bath and soak in it. Epsom salts are known to reduce pain and will relax your muscles.
See what it feels like with ice pack as ice will help reuce inflammation after a hot bath.
But your DR will be able to look into better than the ER and let you know what he thinks. Whether its a pulled muscle or hamstring or whether he things you may want to see a specialist who can do further tests.
I hope you feel better soon
