What Causes Dull Pain In Right Shin?

I have had Restless Leg Syndrome for several years and I control it with 1/2 a tablet of 0.5 mg Pramipexole in the evenings. This usually does the trick. but for the past 2 weeks I have had a dull pain in my right shin which I have been able to tolerate. For the last 2 days the pain is extreme and I don t know what could be causing it. I haven t bumped it. I don t see any swelling. I have a call in to the Doctor but I m waiting for a call back. I m 54 and should probably exercise more, but overall pretty healthy. Thank you, Tammy

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Dear Patient,
Welcome, and thanks for sharing your concern
I went through your query, and I feel, your symptoms may not be related to your present treatment, It would be better to take some rest and analgesics and see if these settle, later you can think of consultation if your symptoms persist, its good to see that your symptoms of RLS are under control of the present drug, it should be known to you that this is not a easy condition to treat, and may be quite resistant to drugs.
I hope my advice would have been useful, in decision making regarding your treatment, still if you have any clarifications or doubts feel free to contact back.
Thanks.
