Hi;
Maybe peripheral neuropathy, poor blood circulation to the legs when sitting on the bar stool, Renaud's, 'Peri' menopause, lactic acid can cause the calve burning.
????
That's a possibility, but there are too many area's effected. The circulation in my legs is clear according to that Doppler test I had. I don't really understand the lactic acid causing calve burning. Could you elaborate on that a bit more?
Hello,
A few possibilities for your symptoms are menopause, fibromyalgia(a disorder classified by the presence of chronic widespread pain and tactile allodynia(pain even on touching) ,chronic fatigue syndrome(often manifests with widespread myalgia and arthralgia, cognitive difficulties, chronic mental and physical exhaustion) ,polymyositis (means 'many muscle inflammation') and polymyalgia rheumatica(an inflammatory disorder that causes widespread muscle aching and stiffness, primarily in your neck, shoulders, upper arms, thighs and hips. It literally appears overnight, but the cause may be a problem with the immune system, perhaps involving both genetic and environmental factors).
Inraynaud’s phenomena,discoloration and cold peripheries along with numbness are found.Do you have such features?
Complete physical examination along with investigations like ESR blood, platelet count Rheumatoid factor, creatine kinase,electromyography and muscle biopsy may be needed to make a diagnosis.Pls consult a physician for that.
Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing.
Yes..cold does tend to make the discoloration and numbness more pronounced. But if I stand in one spot too long, whether it's warm or cold it could happen. I am a smoker so I wasn't surprised when he came up with Raynauds. According to my Dr., I am far from menopause. The aching neck muscles I've had most of my life, so it's not a new symptom. What is ESR blood? I've been tested for Rheumatoid disease, and that came back normal. All my blood work came back normal. My Dr. tested for lyme disease and Lypus..just to name a few. I'll go for a MRI in a few weeks to rule out a few more things hopefully. Thanks.
Hello,
ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) in blood is the rate at which cells settle down when blood is placed in a tube under specified conditions. The test is performed to monitor the progress of disease or to exclude certain diseases in which the ESR is often elevated. High ESR is the result and not the cause of any disease.
Hope it helps.Take care and regards.
