Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain In The Leg And Calves

Hi I had a heart attack in may . I had pain in my leg for a few days before the attack . I now have the same pain in the other leg and it has been going on now for 9 days and getting very little sleep it is so bad went to my own gp who said the pain was more likely to be coming from my back and said to go home and see what happens in another week. The pain is in calf and now in the thigh at the back I have tried ibuprofen but nothing is taking the pain away could you please help.

hi
if pain not responding to ibuprofen, then consult orthopeic doctor. Leg cramps may have circulatory cause and a doppler ultrasound test is indicated.Do massage with olive oil, fomentation and take vitamin E capsules daily along with vitamin B-complex.some more medicines are there but I would suggest an thorough evaluation first
best wishes
