What Does An Air Bubble Like Sensation On The Right Calf Indicate?
Hello. I have suddenly developed a feeling that I can best describe as an air bubble in the top-center of my right calf. After massaging it and walking around for a while, it is still there. Although, it has moved to the bottom- center. It does not feel like it's under the skin, but rather under the muscle. Is this something that I should be worried about ? Thank-you

Hi,
Air bubble like feeling in the leg seen in infection like cellulitis with anerobic groups of organisms. Other causes like varicose veins or AV malformation etc.
Please consult your physician he will do Doppler study of the limb and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
