You may have been near or drank contaminated water, or just been near a "parasitic worm", leading to the introduction of a "parasitic worm" to your body.

The pain could be from when the "parasitic worm" nourishes itself.

Thanks, but I'm pretty sure it's not that. I don't drink much water and when I do I get it from the tap in my house, that's where I've always gottin it from and the water is alwasy the same. Also, I think that even though it only my leg joint hurting now that the pain isn't limitted to that one spot. Like I said, it moved to my lower leg and right now my are is starting to hurt, but that could be unrelated. I'm thinking that it might be a bone, blood or nerve thing. I have also found out that I have low Vitamin D, but IDK is that's related or not either. I would have had low vitamin D for a long time by now but the pain has only just started recently.So yeah, the low Vitamin D I can fix, but untill I find out what's causing my pain then their's nothing I can really do. :(

I am in no way qualified to  answer this, but it sounds like Sciatic_nerve.

Briefcase, "Sciatic nerve" doesn't exist. I partake in countless health forums, and this Wikipedia topic is brought up countless times and dismissed as fake.

Lol, how do you expect anyone to answer this with such a small amount of information you've given us.
I'm sure your doctor has asked you this, but:
When did the pain start?
What makes it go away?
What makes it stronger?
How old are you?
Why do you think it might be a bone blood or nerve thing?
 
Though tbh, I don't think it's something serious. Are you under a lot of stress lately?

its all Psychological ? ;)

growing pains :P

its probably too do with your blood vessels or something idk much about science

Were you in a car accident recently? A shard of shrapnel could have lodged itself within your leg...

Does you leg ever fall asleep after this happens?

>> PM :P

My dad had something similar, I think...  So if you want I could ask...

It's obvious that you were riding your bike, you fell, and your handlebars went into your anus and lodged themselves in your leg. It happened so fast you didn't feel a thing and forgot about your bike even existing from you not wearing a helmet so when you hit your head you got amnesia.

I wouldn't be concerned.  When you are that age anything is a problem heals almost instantly anyhow.  Anything that doesn't heal instantly is likely something very serious and you are screwed anyhow.  So doctors don't get too bothered by it.  I asked about age because it almost sounded like hip arthritis to me.  You aren't old enough for that obviously....


For future reference, pain doesn't "move" and change in intensity. Its not a migratory animal relocating for winter.  If you had a sharp pain in your hip, then you had a sharp pain in your hip.  If you had a dull pain lower down your leg later, that isn't the same pain.  If theres any relation at all between the two pains, its likely that the hip pain caused you to walk strangely and possibly overexert some balancing muscles in your legs you don't commonly use .  As the inflammation in the hip from bursitis or whatever caused the pain dies down, the other area in the leg would become more noticeable and start to throb as the muscle recovers from the secondary damage.

So chances are its either something terribly minor or possibly some minor bursitis/tendonitis?  I don't know much about bursitis except that in some cases the inflammation causes physiological changes to the joint which cause further inflammation. Other than that, theres really nothing going on you need to worry about.  If its something more serious than that, as i said, they are incredibly rare and if you had it, you are screwed anyhow.

For a good example of that, look at Bo Jackson.  Best running back of all time.  One of the toughest men alive....struck down in his prime by some kind of necrosis on the head of his femur.

The thing is that there's no visuble inflammation. No redness or sewlling or anything, just a spike of pain every now and again for no reason. And no, it hasn't caused me to walk any differently, like I said, it's not a constant thing, it come and goes in a few seconds.

And no, I am not active in sport, I am active in VU. lol. Like I said before, I have a Vitamin D defficiancy, if I was outside playing sport a lot then I wouldn't have it. lol. And yeah, I know. But I havn't really done any phisical that could pull something. :P But hopefully it does go away soon. Do you think I could get some type of painkillers or something in the meantime?

Anyway, thanks for the help guys.

You might have rickets...or the equivalent adult case, idk what its called. O-something :P You're bones might be majorly weak.

Vitamin D deficiency may be the cause!

I know the easiest way to fix it.... my dad always said a hacksaw was good... but i find a bandsaw is a lot quicker and normally heals faster...
So yeah, just cut it off...

Yes, I know. :P

And yeah, like I said, I play VU not sport so, yeah, no sex. :P lol.

Yes, I did actually think it might be something like that cos I know that low Vitamin D causes weak bones. But As I said, I would have had low Vitamin D for a while now, but the pain has just started recently.

It's 30, yeah I know, pretty bad. :P And no I havn't. But yeah, maybe I should get a second opinion. Thanks.

I'll take that under consideration JLT. lol

Oh, err, I guess not. :P  Silly me. lol.

Did you recently lie on a bed of nails?

Will do.

At least I can cross that off the list. But idk what aggravates it, it just stabbs at random.

Hum... well that kinda sounds like it, but as I said, I don't play sport... but maybe it doesn't need physical activity to cause it, idk. Hum... I wonder if there is anything we can do about it...

Whatever you do, you always do something wrong XD

maybe you have some muscle injure,but very litle. like people doing sports have (soccer players have them a lot). not necesary to do sports to have them. Maybe an ecography (like the ones they do to see the babies ^^) can show the injure.
 also drink some tea of dry frogs ^^.

I dont think I want to know what it is

When I get that feeling,
I need sexual healing

You should try that

Whiskey? I'm more of a Vodka guy myself. lol.

LOL. Yes, I definitely need some of that! lol. Sooooooooo...... Ladies??? XD
