Poor you these things are always scary and worse at night.

Have you measured the width of both legs? That's what they did to my neighbour when he had one and there was a marked difference between the two.

Probably though it has just stretched the area behind your knee from walking today and that makes it feel odd. Hope it feels better soon.

[Jeepers]

Sorry to hear you have had a tough night Birdy
I had a similar panic on Friday when I had to go to London, and realised I'd been sitting down for 12 hours! Not through choice either.

How is your leg feeling now?  As Ellen says, it's very likely that it just happened when you were walking,and you've stretched a muscle in an unusual way?

[CLKD]

OH! you and me both  .  By late evening both calves and knees ached, then both thighs  and by the time I was in bed at 11.30 I was convinced it was DVT.  But I take Statins  so surely not.

We are trying to walk more each day.  This morning it's my shins that are sore.  But I did sleep!

[Jeepers]

I did 12 miles on Saturday, to try to cancel out Friday... I swear I am going insane! 

[CLKD]

How R U now?  My legs ache 'background' so I will take some Nurofen when I get into the bath.

[BlueButterfly]

Slept but still struggling right now. The leg itself isn't swollen at the moment. I can tell that there is swelling behind the knee though. It feels like something is there when I bend it. But when it is straight I can tell as well.  I'm hoping to get in today so that I'm not this mess forever. It's hard to see back there and get a good view. Just....I hate how I'm feeling right now....just scared.

If it was both legs, I'd be okay...but it's just the one. There's an ache doing nothing....pains when I walk, some pain going up into the thigh it down into the calf muscle at times as well.

Could it be a cyst in the back of the knee cap which has 'popped' out.  I have one occasionally which is really really painful when it is aggravated.

[BlueButterfly]

Yes, it could be a cyst or some tendon issues....I hope it is, would be easier. I can feel the fullness at the back of my knee. Walking around tightens up my calf and gives me pain down to the back of my heel. I have an appointment later today and hopefully is nothing. And most likely is.....

Would be so nice if my body wasn't falling apart these days. And seriously, if it's going to hurt, why can it be somewhere that isn't going to freak me out....like my poor wrists that have been hurting.

[Jeepers]

Hi BlueButterfly

Hope your appointment goes well, it does sound like your tendons or muscles. 

My wrists hurt, and I freak out about them too... it does feel like falling apart, doesn't it?

Let us know how it goes

Let us know?

[BlueButterfly]

I will...appointment soon. I do think it is a structural support issue more than a clot issue but need to get it checked out so I'm not in tears again tonight. I feel generally calm except the whole going to the doctor nerves.

I do wish my body would figure itself out already! I do get the leg pains more in my right leg quite frequently. Honestly, the left leg rarely ever gives me problems. Seeing a different doctor today so we'll see how that goes. (Really do hate how hard it is to see the same doctor on a regular basis..  ) Left wrist gives me more problems but I had a ganglion cyst in that one that had to be drained and I still seem to get pains in the same place but no signs of the cyst.

I knocked my R shin on the bath earlier, I slipped - I intended to shut the window over the bath but caught my toe  .  No bruise.  Yet 

[jaypo]

Oh my clkd,I slipped today too,was getting down from conservatory windowsill after closing blinds before I hit the ground I bounced my hip off corner of VERY hard desk,it's all swollen now and I'm going to have a bruise the size of a small island ☹️

[CLKD]

   OUCH - whilst this isn't a competition I think that your pain level is worse than mine.  Spa treatment required: when, where 

[jaypo]

I was a bit wobbly afterwards,won't be doing that again in a hurry 🤨
