What Causes Sensitivity In Calf And Severe Pain In Leg?
Question: I skateboard for a living, so I'm used to pain. But I have the worst dead leg I've ever had, pretty certain it is the worst stage you can have. Feels like internal bleeding, feels like a little quarter sized ball of incredibly sensitive-ness in my calf.
I HAD to skate the next two days for skate events. First day, once I got the muscle moving around and adrenaline up, no pain. Second day seems like it's worse.
Just read about dead legs online and I will definitely see a doctor tomorrow, but before I read the article I took muscle relaxers I had left over from my last injury.. Which I am paranoid about now, got it elevated and icing it. Feeling quite a bit of anxiety about this. Please advise!! :/
