Hi there!
For about two weeks now, I’ve been dealing with this throbbing pain in the back of my lower leg, just above the knee.
It hits me out of nowhere and lasts only a few seconds, but occasionally it's so intense that I'm completely paralyzed by the pain for those brief moments.
The pain always strikes at the exact same spot every few minutes throughout the day. I haven't bumped it, there's no bruising or redness, and nothing looks swollen; from the outside, everything looks perfectly normal.
But it just keeps hurting.
It comes in waves—almost like a pulsing sensation. Sometimes it's manageable, and other times I can't even move my leg because of the intensity.
I'm really unsure what to make of this. Is this something minor I can ignore, or should I definitely schedule an appointment with my doctor?
Thanks!
