Hi all. Firstly to say that I have read your stickies but am very concerned about what is happening to me.
About 6 months ago I started getting pain in my left calf. It felt like a dvt to be honest, but that was ruled out. Lately it has progressed to feeling tight. Then about 2 months ago I started to get slight stiffness in my left knee. This has gradually got worse and worse to the point I have pain in the back of the knee when I walk and I have v limited ability to bend knee. Then in the last week i am now experiencing rapidly increasing heaviness, discomfort and a feeling of weakness in my left thigh. The speed of which has shocked me. Walking is suddenly a real effort and uncomfortable and getting worse day by day. I have also started getting twitching on both legs.
I can still walk on my tip toes and heels, but with my left leg deteriorating so quickly I wonder for how long.
I would appreciate it if anyone can relate to these symptoms or has any advice. I am back in to see my gp on monday. Thanks for reading this and best wishes to all of you out there.
