What Causes Severe Pain In The Left Leg?
i am having significant pain in my left leg. I was diagnosed with a small bakers cyst in my left knee and the cyst has gone down significantly but for about a week now i have been feeling a lot of sharp pain in my left knee, shin and thigh. My left arm is also very sore. i am able to walk fine but the pain gets worse while sitting or laying down.

Hi,
Peripheral artery disease can cause claudication or pain that occurs in the legs usually when walking or exercising. Blood clots (deep vein thrombosis) can be another cause of leg pain... The pain of sciatica (from disc disease of the spine) may radiate down the leg and is another common cause of leg pain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Monish De,
