Terrible pain in leg - can anyone help?

5 replies

About a week ago I developed a dull ache in my lower leg. This has now developed into constant pain radiating across the shin and outer leg and also the ankle.

All the symptoms seem to suggest a stress fracture but the bone doesn't appear to hurt if I press on it. Also I can't see how I could have got one as if anything I've been doing less exercise than usual lately.

When the pain started I asked my OH to rub my leg and I felt like he pressed really hard on the bone and that caused pain. I am now worried that might have caused something to happen.

Any ideas?

ring 111. I would be worried about a blood clot

This was my first thought too.

I would go and get it checked for a clot too, don't hang about.

I'd go straight to A&E.
