What Causes Pulsation Sensation On Leg Below Knee ?

Hi, i have had a pulsation sensation in the lower part of my right leg just below my knee and above my shin for about 4 weeks now. Also i have a dull ache in the leg. This seems to start from the bottom of my back and go all down my leg. I got out of bed this morning and the leg felt very tender and my foot felt a little stiff as if i had been exercising. Also i have the pulsating feeling too this morning but its not there all the time. it seems to pulsate at random times.i have also noticed that sometimes but not very often i get a warm sensation in the leg close to where it pusates. Sometimes my leg feels a little numb as if i have bad circulation. Have you any idea what this could be.

Hello,

Consult an orthopedician and plan for an MRI scan.

We have to rule out possible causes like bursitis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
