Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have had pain in my left calf close to behind my knee for about 5 days. It is not a cramping type, no redness or swelling. Sometimes a numbing sensation down to my foot. Could this be caused by an inflamed periformis which is a common aggravation for me?
