I have kind of an odd problem, and it's starting to worry me a bit (well, since my mom suggested the idea of a blood clot lol).
anyway, for the past 3 days the muscle at the back of my left knee has really been hurting. It feels like I ran too hard and long and tore something, but I haven't done anything strenuous in the past week. I've tried stretching it tonnes of times, and got it massaged a couple times, and nothing helped in the least. What could be causing this? Should I see a doctor?
might b hyperextened, but im not doc i say go see 1.
probably u had a cramp in your sleep. I have them sometimes, and if dont notice them when they happen, they can hurt the muscle and feel the way u do.
get some deep heat, itll go away eventually, just sit it out m8,
well your in luck im a doctor. okay well first thing is that i need to know how you hurt it to make an accurate diagnosis. but from what youve said in the post i would assume that you strained it doing something. my advice is to just stay off it as much as possible for the next few days and see what happens. i highly doubt that you have a blood clot so dont worry about it.
I find myself strongly doubting your claim that you're a doctor, Biff, with the language above where you said "to make an accurate diagnosis." Your haphazard grammar and punctuation, too, betray your claim of having been a strong enough student to make it into med school.
If you're claiming you can make an accurate diagnosis of a sore limb online, you're either a fake or the most foolish physician who ever placed hands on a keyboard. Do the real physicians, like my husband, who's standing here laughing over my shoulder, a big favor and don't claim to be what you're not. If you'd like his license number, you're welcome to it. Somehow I'm betting you don't have a state medical license number to provide to anyone. I'm only a first-year med student myself, but frankly, you do my husband's profession--and my future one--a great disservice.
Mr. Devious, I expect you may have simply had an injury or a cramp that's left you with soreness. But if it continues to worry you, go check in with a physician and have him examine the leg, then prescribe a course of treatment. You're so young that it's very unlikely you've developed a blood clot. That tends to occur much more often in older individuals, people like diabetics or heart patients who have very poor circulation, post-operative patients, and very sedentary folks with lots of other health problems.
Well I was going to tell you it sounds like cancer but that would be quackery!Quote:

You should cut it off just below where the pain is!
That will eliminate any discomfort in the future
It may be a bit harder to ride a bike though...
and if all else fails
PRAY!
Just make sure when you pray that it's the RIGHT Gawd!
Good Luck!
