I don't trust the medical profession. I would go to them for a heart attack, or a broken bone.
I went to a dr. for this pain, which first (one month ago) was in my calf, then it moved to my shin, then to my sciatica nerve, now in my knee.
I got x-rays and blood work. The Dr says must do more tests - could be fibramialgia, or auto-immune disease.
gotta love doctors- they always come up with the worst possible possibility.
I think I want to try acupuncture, or acupressure, or other alternative treatment.
yes, believe it or not, it could be an unbalance in your shoes. I wear a foot brace so I have to balance out my other shoe (with socks or an insert), otherwise I get pains in various places from the hip on down. A lady who had hip replacement surgery told me about this and it worked!
3rd attempt - I went to a Pain Management clinic. Using ultrasound they discovered a lot of fluid in my knee, removed it and gave me a cortisone shot.
No fun!
but I feel better - not all better, I have pain to walk, but I longer am in agony.
They said I should feel better in a couple of days. Follow up next week.
at least it gives me a breather from intense pain, when I can do my investigation into what is going on. And what I need to do.
It's too bad that (most) doctors don't have any curiosity.
