Approximately two days ago I began to experience severe leg pain. This includes the calf and knee. I had a TKR 7 years ago, have had no problems. I have Type 2 Diabetes and High Blood Pressure. My glucose has been high, averaging 130. I take Metformin, Vytorin, Lisinipril, Oxybutinin, Trileptal and Cymbalta. Am debating if I may have a blood clot or worse and if I need to see a doctor. I did take 660 mg of Naproxen approximately 6 hours ago. Seemed to help, but pain is now in back of thigh. Suggestions
Hi, Radiating pain from knee to thigh or thigh to knee is called a sciatica pain. Other possibilities like hip osteoarthritis or lumbar spondylosis with back pain etc., can contribute to this. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Please get it done X-ray lumbar spine and then consult your doctor, he will examine and treat you accordingly. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
