I've been having pain in my calf for about a month now.in the last couple days the pain has started jumping around. To the sides of my calf,to behind my knee now it's in my groin as well. Also my right testicle hurts(right leg is where my pain is).I finally got to see my doctor today and he thinks I might have a Pinched sciatic nerve and is sending me for lower back xray.so does sciatica cause this dull ache that comes and goes in different parts of my leg?can it also be causing my testicle pain? Also when trying to sleep my leg tingles.

Thanks

Roger

      Thank you. That's how mine started just pain in my calf though I haven't had pain in my bum yet. Today when I woke up I went for a short walk and I have no pain in my leg anywhere. Does it just fix itself like that?

    Oh and another question can the pain be worse some days than others?
