I have been getting pain in my hamstring that goes down to my toes whenever I sit in a car, or at my dining room table for about the last 2 weeks. It's just on the left side and started with a charlie horse feeling in my hamstring, calf and sometimes my foot. Now it feels like my muscle in my thigh is tight and almost a burning feeling. I mentioned the leg cramps to my rheumy and he did not seem to think anything of them. They are just on my left side where all my other pain is. I can't even sit long enough for dinner without getting up to stretch. Has anyone ever had something like this?? I am going to a chiropractor today, so hopefully he can help.
Have you ever has sciatica? I don't know what it is, but my problems all seem to be more intense on the left-side. Your Rheumy really should be investigating this. But you might try your GP and see what he thinks. There are a lot of other problems that could be occuring that are just outside of this doctor's experience. But don't brush it off especially when it is that uncomfortable. We have pain for a reason. You know it could be a knee problem that is just beginning. That's where I felt problems first. When I'd walk, it just seemed so difficult. Stay sharp on this one.
