Sounds like you may have injured the sciatic nerve that runs from your buttocks to your heal.  Only rest and cortisone shots will help

What did your doctor suggest it might be? It could be something inflamed and pressing on a nerve or muscle, or it could be a circulation problem. I have a herniated disk in my lower back that causes similar symptoms, it's called sciatica. You can read about that condition here. http://orthoinfo.aaos.org/fact/thr_report.cfm?Thread_ID=167\nRest is a good thing to let inflamation go down, and of course there are specific excercises to take the pressure off of particular area. Most important thing I can tell you is to talk to your doctor. If he doesn't answer your questions, ask again. You should be in control when visiting the doctor. Don't leave the office in the dark. Hope this helps.

If the pain persists you should see a health professional. Most likely it's nothing, maybe a pulled muscle or something. But if it is more serious, you want to know sooner rather than later so you can deal with the problem. Good luck!

It should ease over the next 24 hours, try putting on a heat pack for 15 mins also, with some gentle stretches. Good luck, if still sore in 48 hrs prob need a bit of physio

Depends on...\n\n1)   What is aching? \nIs it the bone in the front of your leg hurting?\nAre your calves (the muscles at the back) hurting?\netc.\n\n2)   and What kind of "pain" is it?\nIs it sharp constant pain or a sharp pain when you do something?\nIs it a dull constant pain?\nDo you get it when you stand or walk or run or is it on all the time?\n\n\nWithout specifics, as requested above, understanding or speculating the possible cause of the pain would be a wild guess.\nIt could be pretty much anything - from a damaged ligament, bone and muscle tear from something you did to just a muscle catch or potassium deficiency solvable buy resting and eating foods with more potassium (e.g. bananas).\n\nI would recommend you try and post more specifics or do some research on www.webmd.com or see a General Physician who can provide you more input based on specifics that you give him

Awww you poor thing\n\nhas anyone suggested physiotherapy to you?\nIts the most effective way of easing the pain but it's not the answer.\n\nAnti-inflammitorys don't work i know cos ive tried them all-- what about accupuncture-- it's been tried and tested and proved to work\n\nOther than change of lifestyle swimming is very good for the muscles\ni cant think of anything else sorry if this doesn't help

Treatment options are critical at this point.. You apparently have a structural problem (even at your young age), perhaps familial or congenital. Is something quite routinely seen, in the doctor of Chiropractic office. \n\nIt appears to be involving the sciatic nerve. You don't want it to grow into a full blown sciatica..as it is much worse than what you are experiencing at the moment. Suggest you take care of is asap.. as it will only progress..as the inflammatory process is already evident.\n\nBeen there, done that!!

You should have started physical therpy to excercise the musles involved, if this has not been done then you need to talk to a doctor for referral.\n Aside from excerse, the healing could take up too a year

it sounds like you have sciatica ( pain in the butt-or feel like your hips are bad?) You will need to do low impact exercise for your lower back muscles so it is not so easy to strain them. Water aerobics or light swimming helps

Could be a touch of arthritis. Another possibility would be a tight achilles tendon. In either case, I'd recommend two exercise \n\n(1) Put a telephone book (or something similar about 2-3 inches high) on the floor. Place the toes and balls of feet on the book with your heels resting on the floor. Raise yourself up and down about 10 times. This exercise done 2 or 3 times a day will help stretch your achilles tendon.\n\n(2) While sitting or supporting yourself while standing, do simple circles both to the left and right several times throughout the day...and especially before you are going for a walk. This will help warm up the muscles around the ankle before you walk and may help alleviate some (or all) of the pain.

try thermal care patches and then if that doesnt work ask your mom to take you to your family doctor and he will tell your mom what you can do for your back

Are you diabetic? Could be cellulitis. You need to go to the doctor. An antibiotic might be needed along with the appropriate creams to put on your legs and a dressing might be warranted. Be careful with dressings sometimes they tend to hold moisture in. Are you on lasix? drainage could be increased. My advice go to the doctor......

WOW!! What a question, first you should always seek a doctors care, but in the mean time try this. \nMaintain good posture.\nUse correct posture when lifting.\nSleep on a firm surface providing support for the lower back and under your knees if it feels more comfortable.\nApply ice or cold packs for 20 minutes every two hours. Once pain has lessened decrease this to 20 minutes two times a day.\nWarm showers with water directed at the painful area can help. \n***** If you have or develop any of these see a doctor at once*****\n1.Severe pain that goes down into the leg or groin.\n2.Burning or painful urination\n3.Unexplained fever of 100.5,chills, nausea, vomiting or weight loss.\n4.Numbness or tingling in leg or foot\n5.Chronic pain that does not improve after two weeks of self-care.\nOnce again if you haven't done so please seek a doctor's care!!!!!

rest and let it heal - absolutely nothing else except time can fix this. 6 weeks of low or no leg work

Try mssaging the hip area with dragon balm or tiger balm.\nIt is POSSIBLE that you have inflammation in the joint, arthritis, a muscle or ligament tear, sciatica caused by pressure on the sciatic nerve or any one of many other problems - IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DIAGNOSE REMOTELY.\n\nDo you know a good osteopath or chiropractor?\n\nThey will assess your injury, most likely massage your lumbar area - including gluts and piriformis - and then adjust you (crack). There is a high success rate with this kind of thing. Numbness usually indicates that there is pressure on a nerve, shooting pains too. Sounds a LOT like sciatica.\n\nI wonder what you did that brought this on?\nSome advice:\nDon't carry your wallet in your back pocket anymore - sitting will be uneven. \nNo crossing the legs either.\nYou can try lying down on the ground - on your back, with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor.\nLean sideways and slide a rolled up towel (1-1/2 inches diameter) under you lower back and lie straight again. Slowly lower your knees to the floor so that you basically have a bump under your hips. If this hurts the towel is too thick or you are in too much muscle spasm for this gentle stretch to help.\nIf it doen't hurt, just feel into the stretch - allow the muscles in the lower back to relax. You can stay here for 3-4minutes.\nLean sideways and pull the towel out.\n\n\nThe above will all help - I urge you to see a professional - you don't have to live with this pain.

Try checking out spine-health.com. I've had sciatica which is when the sciatic nerve is pinched or impinged upon sometimes by normal wear and tear and sometimes by a strain/slight injury (even without realizing it). It can also be caused by a disc problem. The pain is real and it usually effects the upper thigh and sometimes the hip and can radiate downwards. I use ice and Motrin. Of course your mom should check with her doc to make sure she can take an anti-inflammatory if indeed that is what it ends up being. That spine-health.com has a list of issues dealing with bulging discs, herniated discs etc. The bulging disc can range from mild to severe but there are treatments available that are successful. Also there is a ligament (can't remember the name of it at the moment) that runs outside and just below the hip through the outside of the buttock to the thigh that even if just strained can cause much pain. It's good she's getting an MRI to determine whether it's actually disc involvement or muscular in nature. I'm not a doctor, just played a lot of sports so have a bit of experience with some of these. Good Luck.

I don't know if there is a cure, but some things that might help would be to improve circulation. Use a pumice stone to exfoliate, massage legs, make a tea out of rosemary, fresh ginger, cayenne, ginko- mix about a 1/4 cup of any one or more with 3or 4 green or black tea bags to make a 1/2 gal. Do these all once or twice a day. \n\nOnly a suggestion- I am not a Dr.
