Aching calves & hot flashes in legs

9 replies

courtney251 · 05/01/2022 14:34

Hi guys,

A couple days ago my calves started to ache. Didn't think anything of it because I do exercise so thought I might of pulled them. Now I've started to get hot flashes down one leg in to my foot and sometimes if I'm sitting it will tingle. Obviously done the worst thing I could do and googled it and freaked myself out. I'm a 32 year old woman. Does anybody have any ideas what it could be? Could it be I've pulled something working out?

What do you mean by hot flashes? Nerve pain?

Obviously, if your worried you should see your gp. But if nerve pain you've probably just impinged something in your lower back rather than anything serious.

It will feel like a hot rush down my leg in to my feet if you know what I mean. Mainly though the calves are aching and can feel like a bit tingly

If it’s one leg it could be thrombosis and needs immediate attention.

If both it’s not AS likely to be that.

Is there a hard spot?

Could it be a nerve in your back going down your leg. Have you hurt your back?

No there isn't any hard spots. It was both legs but now is mainly the one leg. It's worse if I sit down and stand still but less noticeable when moving
