Pain, pain go away.?

Question:

I have had foot, ankle and knee pain for three years. Occasionally, a muscle on my leg would feel like it was strectched for a couple of seconds and I'd be in excruciating pain. I went to the doctors and they said everything was fine. Is this a sign of ostioperosis?

Answers:
Osteroperosis is weak bones, you feel no pain with it. Muscle cramping is an entirely different thing? Do you stretch your legs regularly? If not, your muscles will give you problems. If you are, make sure you stretch smoothly and don't use jerky movements as you want no more injury.

The muscle just sounds like a muscle cramp. That happens to everyone. The ankle, foot, and knee pain may just be due to strain or osteoarthritis, but osteoporosis is mainly in women over the age of 65.

Go see an accupuncturist. Three years is a crappy long time to be in pain.

Difficult to say without the bloodtests, x-rays and physical check-up.

Recommend that you do daily stretches for about 15-30 minutes and increase the stretches as tolerated.

if you have a sore heel, check about plantar fascias
I have that and the only way to sooth the pain is exercises.

Not to scare you, but this could be a sign of a neurological process taking place. I have multiple sclerosis and these are very common symptoms that happen to me almost nightly! Ask you doctor to do a brain MRI and see if you have any white lesions on your brain, which is what indicates Neuro disease.

sounds more like muscle spasms

spasms can be caused by dystonia - which is a neurological disorder

The foot ankle and knee pain might be unrelated, and a good pair of orthotics might help.
