What Causes Calf Pain While Treating Spinal Stenosis?
Approx. 4:00 a.m. every morning I am awakened by very sore, achy calves. They hurt to the point where it is difficult to ignore and go back to sleep. I ve tried compression-like knee hi s and they help a little. I am already being treated for spinal stenosis (facet and spinal injections) but they don t seem to help this problem at all. Any suggestions? Muscular or blood circulation problems?

Hi,
You may be suffering from neurological claudication or arterial stenosis or muscle cramp or infection. So get it done colour Dopplor of lower limbs, nerve conduction study may useful. Use tablet Pregabalin once daily for five days. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
