LEG PAIN WHEN WALKING

I will try and describe this the best I can. I am having to rely alot now on using a crutch. The further I walk the more difficult I find it becomes. Its my left leg. The calf starts to hurt and above and around my knee. I become a bit breathless to. My leg feels tight especially at the back of my leg. Then I feel dizzy and quite light headed. So I use my crutch basically to keep me steady. My walking becomes a chore as I am usually worn out and left with a leg that throbs. The throbbing extends to my foot eventually. Does anyone else get this. Its becoming harder and harder.

I'm suffering with that right now. My calve has hurt for a couple of years now but has now affected my leg, ankles and feet. I'm in agony as I type. I have always been proud to use an aide but might have to start using one now and again. I just don't want to face up to the fact that I have this illness :(( x

I'm somewhat newly-diagnosed and off and on I get pain behind my knees, in my calves and down to my feet. I've been tested for deep vein thrombosis even (negative) and then I've also had numbness and tingling in the same areas, as well. The rheumatologists don't know what to make of it and may send me to a neurologist if I keep getting the numbness and tingling. Good luck and hope you feel better.

I have just been in the hospital with all of this. My Doctor wanted me to go to Rehab so upset and in pain.
