Constant cramps in calf with no relief, please help
Posted , 3 users are following.
Hello, I'm new to this forum and was wondering if anyone had ever experienced this? Three weeks ago I noticed some lumps behind both of knees. They become more prominent when my leg is straightened. They are pretty squishy and I have around five in each leg. I went to a physician who felt the biggest one and said it was a lipoma. A few days later the lumps began to hurt. Unfortunately I was in the process of moving and made a 10 hour drive straight to another state. I proceeded to move in and was going up and down the stairs a lot. Two days later I woke up and my right calf began to cramp. The cramp lasted for about three days. Now the back of my calf is covered in brown splotches. The left calf has now begun to cramp up as well. I have been taking ibuprofen which has helped and I was prescribed prednisone as the doctor here noticed my knee was swollen. I have had numerous ultrasounds and plenty of blood work and the cramping still will not go away. The lumps are also beginning to hurt more and the pain is starting to be accompanied by abdominal pain. I am at a lost for what to do next? I am being tested for autoimmune disorders which the doctor believes I have but this is unlike anything i've ever experienced and I am terrified. Any ideas? Sorry for the long post

Sorry that you're dealing with such, and I wish I could suggest something. Only thing I can say is trust in your doctors and conduct a personal research on the side.
If you could, would you mind uploading a picture? I'd like to see what those bumps look like so that I could carry out my own research as well and help in any wash tasty I can. I hope you feel better. Good luck!
