What Causes Throbbing Pain In The Legs, Calves And Soles Of The Feet?

I experience a throbbing pain in my legs, upper leg, calves and now the soles of my feet, this has been going on for months, but seems to be worse now, and added to that I have a strange throbbing in my left leg on one spot, it is hard to explain. I have wondered if it could be varicose veins, although no visible veins. I appreciate your answer.

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement,  's  Response
These symptoms are suggesting that you may be having a disc prolapsed at lumbar region . I would recommend you to get MRI of the spine to see if there is a disc protrusion and if yes then how much . According to that you can plan . If it is in early stage then treatment will be physiotherapy and muscle relaxant and Pregabalin and Methylcobal.If it is in late stages then surgery is needed. Till that time, avoid bending forward and weight lifting.
