What Causes Pain In The Rear Of The Leg?
Hello, Current in bed with a cold for 4 days, I was awaken by a throbbing pain in the rear of my left leg. I ve gotten out of the bed and moved to the couch and placed a ice bottle behind my knee. I m unsure as to what s going on but the pain woke me up twice.

Hello,
Thank you for using Healthcaremagic.
I read your question and understood your concern.
This may be a muscular pain or decubitus from laying down for 4 days and the skin and soft tissues of the leg are compressed on the bed.
I think you can use locacy antiinflamatory cream and make some exercise during the day.
I wish you quick recovery.

I think the most problable thing is a muscle cramp or contracture ( spasm).It needs stretching exercises of the calf muscle and massage.
If it continues more then 3 days you should see a doctor.
I wish you quick recovery.
