I have pain in the back of my thigh and knee area when sitting. Also having numbness and pain with pressure in front part of my calf. The pain is a stabbing and tearing sensation when pressure is applied to the calf. No swelling in the leg or feet. Not color or temp. change in the skin. No pain with walking. Only when I put pressure on the calf. I work in an office at the hospital and sit for my job and this pain is very uncomfortable. My PCP told me to take Motrin for 3 days and its not helping. Could this be nerve issue? I have never experienced pain like this.
