What Causes Popping Sensations In The Legs After Exercise?

Don't think of MND,;it seems to be related to over-exercised from cycling..
Detailed Answer:
Hi my dear,
I have gone through your medical history carefully and understood your concern.
Let me recapitilize your case:
- 56 years old female
- actual symptoms: popping sensation in legs for past 2 weeks
- symptoms started after had cycled to work and back, but did not stop
- family history of father dying of MND
- GP confirming no MND, referred to neurologist
As per your description, it does not seem MND to me. After reviewing your case, I think you got over-exercised your legs when cycling work and back.
This is temporary, until your legs muscles will get used of this habitual exercise, and then, you won't feel anything.
For the moment, I advise to :
- apply alternating warm and cold compresses locally
- take magnesium supplements
- take anti-inflammatory meds like mephenamic acid or ibuprofen
until you see neurologist. I'm sure no MND will be detected though.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you have further queries.
Dr.Albana
