Calf and hip pain increasingly getting worse!. GP has given up diagnosis. Advice please!
Hi everyone, im new to this website and stumbled upon it trying to find information for myself.
I have extreme pain in my left calf and hip. I first noticed the pain a few months ago at work where I was standing for long periods of time. I would keep changing positions and sit down, this would usually make it go away. Its getting worse and worse, I quit my job, im unable to do grocery shopping for over 10 minutes, and I cant walk around Uni for long either. I also do professional wrestling as a sport (doctors seem to think its the problem, I feel the same pain with or without wrestling). Last year before I was wrestling there was a period where I had very bad lower back pain, I struggled to bend over, doctor thought nothing of it. My doctor has conducted the following scans first: DVT - No, X-Ray of calf - Nothing. He sent me to a physio, the physio after examining me said that im hypermobile
but also that its not to do with my calf but my spine in particular my L5. My doctor then ordered a Body/Spect CT which came up with nothing abnormal and then proceeded to tell me that he cant do anything else for me. I see the physio soon but he was counting on the scans to show what the problem is, so I was wondering if anyone could give me some possible things it could be and how to cure it please. I would love to be able to do normal things with out horrible pain! Thanks
