Pain down leg, worried

[Asparagus1]

The last few days I’ve had a pain that feels like it’s deep in my bone of my left leg starting up at the top of my thigh, sometimes it travels down and I can feel it in my ankle. It’s worrying me 😣 it’s not excruciating but niggling and is there when I’m just sat down or lying in bed.

I suffer from anxiety so am already thinking it’s something bad 😣

Is it a shooting pain or constant? If shooting/ burning type pain sounds like sciatica or other nerve related

It is probably sciatica. An aggravation of the sciatic nerve.
I had this, The pain started deep in my buttock and spread to down leg to foot. After a few weeks it gradually reduced.
No known cure but it does not seem to cause damage. It only hurts like a bastard.
Best Wishes dear!

So I suffer from health anxiety and get stuff like this all of the time. The thing that helps me is to try and control the anxiety (exercise, breathing exercises, calming tea, hot bath, writing a list of all the possible causes). Then also trying to do something practical for the pain/sensation. What have you tried to treat the pain? Does it go away with painkillers? Hot water bottle? Could it be muscular? Are there different stretches/exercises you could try?
If I am still concerned about the pain in 2/3 weeks then I make an appointment to see/discuss with the GP.
