What Causes Pain In Lump When Walking For Long Distance?
Hello,
I have a question to ask. I went walking today 2.2 mile and there is a lump not hard but noticeable like a bruise thats been there maybe 2 yrs. It never bothers me until I walk for long distances. At which point the faster I walk there is an awful pain like a tightening and it throbs really bad like its in my vein (which I also have a varicose vien that was inherited on this same leg and never a problem with) and goes a tingling, sharp pain, numbness like I was sitting in one spot all day. Help, Im at a lost because I pray its not a blood clot and I really cant afford a doctor. But I need to train for a walk assessment at my college.
Thank you,
Chandra

Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having some improper venous circulation giving rise this problem.
This might be due to varicose vain or deep vein thrombosis.
You have to consult vascular surgeon and requires investigations like color Doppler.
Meanwhile apply elastocrepe bandage while going for walking.
Ok and take care.
