Question: I always having pain in my left leg only. Few month ago, I visited to doctor and he told me that due to tight muscles this is happening to only your left side leg.

Due to this in my left side leg, I feel much problem as give below:

1. My left side leg gets much pain compare to my right side leg.
2. When I walk on road, my left side leg keep slight cross compare to right side leg. (e.g. when I walk, my left side leg position is \ and my right side leg position is | )
3. When I do any physical exercise, my left side leg getting pain every time even after short exercise.
4. I feel much heaviness on my left side leg when I keep walking on road, and I tired much fast.
5. I feel much confortable when I keep my left side leg cross while walking (e.g. like this position \ ), but still it keep paining. And I don't want to walk by keeping left side leg in cross position.


Would anybody please tell me that- is this just because of muscle tightness on my left leg OR this is another problem with my left leg.
I want to get relief from this and want my left side leg health as my right side leg.

Thanks!

Q* Since how long have you been noticing this problem of having pain and outward deviation of the leg

Answer:
Well, I have this problem since last almost 4 years. And few months ago I visited to Orthopaedic doctor and as per his suggestion, it is muscle tight issue.


Q* Extent of pain - is it present in the whole leg or present only in a part? is it coming in the front portion or back portion of limb? either in the thigh or below the knee?

Answer:
The pain is present in (What I am feeling is) in the center of the leg. Which means that, at the front side in/at the knee area. Sometime I observed between knee and ankle.


Q* Nature of pain - dull aching ? sensation of pin and needles? stabbing type? or any other sensation

Answer:
The pain is more on dull aching. It is NOT kind of pin or needles pain. I always feels that my left leg is heavy. Even when I am walking on the road, my left leg is moving front and back BUT almost in TIGHT position, NOT flexible moving. Left leg moving like TIGHT moving.


Q* Do you have the pain in the leg even at rest? or only while doing activities?

Answer:
Really nice question.
Well, while in the rest, pain becomes low. BUT, the thing I am observing daily while sleeping is- While sleeping, when I keep both the legs streight but in loose mode, then my right foot keeps at almost straight position, BUT my LEFT foot goes down to 100% left side.
(E.g. While sleeping, when I keep both the legs straight but loose position, then- Left foot position: _ and Right foot position: / )
(I wrote 'foot' which means that a portion between ankle and foot thumb)


Q* Do you mean to say that you are having pain even in the right leg also? (as you have stated in point no 1 that your left legs gives more pain than right)

Answer:
NO, I NEVER feel same problem in my right leg.

Have a nice day.
