I have pain in my leg that started in my left foot and is now all through my leg.
The pain started yesterday in my left foot, first was my big toe then went to the top of my foot and now is all through my whole left leg. It feels as though my leg is bruised inside and is very sensitive to cold on the outside. I have had this befor but not as bad. Please if you can give me some answers to tell me what i should do about it.
Thank you

I suggest you contact your internist and a podiatrist. Following lumbar fusion surgery in May, I had severe right foot & leg pain whose symptoms mimic yours. First thought was a reaction to surgery. However after testing for gout (negative), recieving 3 injections to my symptheic nervous sysytem (which provided significatn relief but not complete) I saw a podiatrist. I have a fracture in foot below big toe and Plantars. Plantar facious is very common. Prior to surgery I ignored the Plantar and blamed my foot pain on my over exursion and the result of a "bad back". I urge you to see a podiatrist even it is to rule it out. I have had an xray & MRI of my foot. Both interist & orthopedic doctor missed the fracture on the xray but the podi. saw it immediatly.
Wish you the best and a speedy healing.

Just to let everyone know I went to a walk-in clinic and they are not 100% positive but they believe it's shingles, I've be told to wait a couple days and keep looking for a rash on my leg. I really hope that's not what it is. And I will be going back in a couple days if pain persists. Even running my hand over my leg hurts, so if anyone has this or has had it in the past and has been told something different I would like to hear from you.
