My leg pain is most severe in the morning after I wake up and then seems to completely subside. Once bed time rolls around again, the pain starts. I am not sexually active, I have been very stressed out and I may be too young for clots in my legs. I know I can't rule out clots, however. I kind of feel that the doctors will say nothing is wrong with me since the pain isn't bad during the afternoon/evening. I guess I am afraid that they won't take me seriously. Thanks for your suggestions and I will definitely go to my doctor ASAP.
Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
I agree with Caregiver that you need an urgent assessment by a doctor. It could be a vascular pathology like clot and you may need dopplar or angiogram. It can also be neurological and a MRI of lower spine may be needed.
Unintentional and unexplained weight loss is definitely not good. There are many causes like worms in stool, depression, anorexia nervosa, AIDS, cancers especially colon cancers, drug abuse, infections and loss of appetite. Loss of appetite can again be due to certain medications, drug abuse, depression, AIDS, acute and chronic infections, cancers and hypothyroidism. Either you do not eat well or there is increased metabolism as in hyperthyroid states, HIV, cancer etc. Poor absorption as in irritable bowel syndromes and malabsorption syndromes too is possible. Malabsorption syndromes are seen in intestinal tuberculosis, HIV, tropical sprue, parasites in stool and Whipple’s Disease. Diabetes too can be the cause and you could be having diabetic neuropathy and atherosclerosis and deep vein thrombosis associated with it.
Please consult a doctor ASAP, I am not sure how—maybe ER or your PCP. Take care!
You need a professional medical examination STAT. That means as soon as possible.
I would go so far as to suggest a visit to an emergency room. The first though is that you may have vascular issues, but there are other scenarios. If you are developing clots and they travel you may end up paralyzed from a stroke.
All of these symptoms point to a potential life-threatening problem. Not necesssarily so, but the reality is you require a professional evaluation.
It could be Blood Clogs, you should check up with your doctor, it sounds serious to me.
