Pain moves from place to place in my leg [View all]

I really never wanted to be a medical mystery!

Pain my calf started one month ago, after an unusual amount of walking. (walking one hour a day was normal for me- on this day, various activities kept me walking for about 3 times that long.)

The pain moved to my shin, then to left part of my knee, then to the part of my sciatica behind my knee, now to my knee.

the pain is bad enough that I use a cane.

I got x-rays and blood work. The Dr says must do more tests - could be fibramialgia, or auto-immune disease.

Has anyone experienced anything like this?

thanks,
ellen
