I am trying to work out where my pain is originating and I wonder if anyone has advice on this.
My main pain problems are in my lower legs, most notably my knees, lower calves, ankles and feet. Interestingly, I do not seem to have any pain in my thighs, and the pain in my calf muscle is relatively minimal.
My feet pretty much continually ache, right now down the tops, probably a minute later the soles and balls of my feet will ache. Two minutes later it might feel like the whole bone structure of my foot is aching. Sometimes the entire lower part of my calf is aching (above the ankle). The pain in my knees is pretty permanent too, it feels like there is burning around the edges of the kneecap and underneath the kneecap. Obviously it is intensified by using my legs. There is no visible swelling.
I am wondering if it is possible to tell the origin of the problem from this description (i.e. most likely joints I presume), or at least rule out for example that it is in the tendons (I am not sure if the areas I describe have many tendons or if tendon pain is often found there?). It doesn't seem to fit nerve pain to me...Sorry if this is a bit random, I just thought it might resonate with someone!
Thanks.
