What Causes Severe Pain On The Outer Leg And Contractions Of Muscles Or Tendons?
last night I experience severe pain on the outside of my lower right leg. I felt the muscle or tendon contract so severely that rising from a seated position was difficult. Once i did, I tried to walk it off, massage it and nothing stopped the pain. Finally I forced myself to walk to stretch it and still found the leg wanting to turn to the outside by itself. The pain was off the 1-10 scale. Once I managed the paid and massaged it a bit more I was fine as if nothing happened. What could possibly have caused that?
