Thank you Prachi for your interest, I am able to answer all of these questions;

1. Location of pain; mainly medial aspect of left lower leg going down past medial malleolus into arch of foot for last 3 years. Also the last 18 months pain in the sacrum buttock area of same leg.
2. I have pain whenever I walk (any walking not vigorous), I also have pain if I cycle too vigorously. Pain starts 5 - 10 mins into walking and will stop some time after I stop. This stop start pain has been going on for 3 years. It has got worse the length of time before pain appears has shortened and the pain more intense.
3. Never any change in pain related to posture sitting or standing
4. Not low back but yes pain tightness in sacrum buttock area - this started around the same time as leg pain but has got worse in last 18 months.
5. Yes pain intermittent but in last 6 months felt constant - better since starting on amitriptyline
6. Yes both matter can walk for about 20 minutes but in pain before I have to sit down.
7. I do lots of yoga and have virtually no pain when doing this - have noticed tightness in left hip with extension beyond anatomical position and internal and external rotation at the hip.
8. Have lots of neurogenic symptoms incl pins and needles, burning sensation, slight swelling, slight numbness. Not yet noticed any weakness in the ankle foot. Unalbe to tolerate heat and limb swells and burns at night if under blanket so autonomic nervous system presumably affected as well.


Seen a surgeon and a sports doctor who suggested Compartment Syndrome - trying to organise a pressure monitor at the moment . Surgery brings its own risks and I am very unkeen on this - I am fit healthy otherwise and don't want a permanant disability,

Any suggestions are very welcome,
Thank you,
