I walked for around 10 km 4 days back. I am not a habitual walker. I felt cramp twice in my right leg during first 3 km and after stretching it was better. Then I consumed fair amount of water. But, after 24 hours I got severe pain in calf muscles and there is slight swelling. Please suggest some medication or exercise. This has been constantly disturbing me for the last 3 days. Kindly help.

i had knee surgery in 2011 and since that time I have increasing pain in the same leg. It started with foot and lower leg as numbness and a burning pain. Now the pain has traveled up my back. Theres severe burning, spasms, numbness, hypersensitivity in the skin of leg and back. The pain is severe enough that it is difficult for me to walk, rest or sleep. I had an MRI, CT Scan and a muscle/nerve test done, no problems. im now seeing psychologist for depression for dealing with this for 7 months

I'm 21 years old but ever since I was about 6-7 years old, I've had this very irritated spot at the top of my head, right in the middle. It gets extremely sore then after a few days it gets very itchy but it burns really bad if I scratch and that pattern repeats itself. For about 2 years now I've been getting a lot of headaches and migraines. Also, lately I have terrible lower back problems. Could they be connected in some way? Also what can be the cause of all this and how can I treat it?

My child has been prescribed for hip dislocation surgery. He is a cerebral palsy patient. I do not want him to go through a lot of pain and then end up standing up with support and walk in special walker. My question is how painful is it? I do not want him to remember anything performed during Anesthesia? I have doubts that his dislocation of hip is due to sapstic muscles at inner side of leg. Can that stiff muscle pull hip again? How much are chances for him to walk on his own?

I have leg pain at night when I go to bed. Sometimes it involves cramps but mostly just achy muscles. I get some relief if I change my position but it usually comes back after a while. As soon as I get up in the morning my legs are fine and I'm able to do whatever I want without pain. The pain at night keeps me awake and when I do sleep it is for short intervals. What is it?
