Is Vascular Calcification In Thigh Causing Leg Discomfort?
Hello. My name is Gary, and I had a skeletal survey done on 3/13. I have Multiple Myeloma, and have been having tightness, cramping, and soreness in my thighs, backs of my legs, and calves. I was glad to find out that there are no new lesions, but the report did say that I have vascular calcification in the soft tissues of the thighs bi-laterally. I am not overweight, and have never had any issues with vascular problems, or blood flow. Could this be causing the discomfort in my legs, and what does the report mean? Thank you, Gary
