What Causes Pain In The Lower Leg While Sitting And Lying Down?

I have noticed pain in the lower leg since last 4 days. Pain increases when I am sitting on the pot in washroom. I live in India and due to hot weather mostly in the air conditioned room. Mentioning the AC because I was informed that the pain might be because of AC. Pain noticed even when lying down.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.
There is possibility of nerve compression in spine leading to electric sensation in your leg.

I will advise MRI spine to see for any nerve compression leading to radicular back pain.

Medication like methylcobalamine with muscle relaxant and analgesic will reduce pain; you can take them consulting your treating doctor.

You may consult physiotherapist for further guidance. He may start TENS, or ultrasound which is helpful in your case.

I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.
Spine extension exercises along with core stabilizing exercises will help you.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Take care.
