i just got back flying from Munich to Kansas 2 days ago . i am a 24 year old male, relatively healthy. I have been having minor leg pain on one side and a couple of cramps on the bottom of my foot. I have health anxiety and this has become a problem for me mentally. Any help would be appreciated. Again pain is very minor. More of a nuisance

    Hi Nick, if you are worried you should visit your doctor. Mine started as a minor pain, slight redness and slight hardness and then worsened. If just to put your mind at rest, go see the doctor.
