What Causes Severe Pain In Hip Radiating To Toe?
my left leg really aches at night going from my hip to the tip of my toe. but it really aches in the calf area. on a scale of 1-10 it gets up to an 8 but only at night or when I lay down for a nap etc. once I start to walk on it the pain goes away. could this be a blood clot. I do wear support stockings and they help a little. Could this be a deep thrombosis vein problem? Darlene

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, this is not the deep vein thrombosis but this could be due to sciatica and in my opinion this need to be ruled out and for that some investigation may needed, better to see the orthopedic surgeon, till then condition can be managed with "Tab Diclofenac 50 mg" once in day, bed rest would be nice, hope this information helps, take care.
