Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic, inflammatory, multisystem, autoimmune disorder. It is a disabling and painful condition which can lead to substantial loss of mobility due to pain and joint destruction.
I started having horrible pain in the lower front of my leg, on the shinbone. This went on until a few weeks ago. I had a cat scan it showed two bulging discs in l2/3 and l5. It also showed multiple cysts IN my bone where it hurts. I am now having back pain that comes and goes, and sometimes in one side, the other or for extra fun, both! I can barely walk. Tonight the pain is radiating up and down my left leg AND my right leg. Haven't been to the gym since earlyDecember. I can barely walk let alone exercise.. I have gained weight too because the lack of exercise and depression from the pain. Could this pain be from arthritis??
Problems with bulging disks in one's back can cause pain to radiate down the legs.
I hope you get the professional help you need to reduce the pain.
