Tonight when I went to go to sleep I have intermittent sharp pains in my left leg about 3-4 inches above my ankle. It does not feel like a muscle cramp. It is more like a nerve pain that runs from top to bottom for about 4-5 inches. Seems to alleviate when I stand up. Very hard to get to sleep. Any suggestions? Thanks
Hello, The symptoms seem like a musculoskeletal pain. As a first line management, you can take analgesics like Paracetamol or Diclofenac for pain relief. If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopedic and get evaluated. An MRI scan is required for further assessment. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
