sharp pain in inside of left ankle

by nd

I was woken during the night by a really sharp pain, like i was being stabbed in the ankle by a needle. It hurt so much I tore my bed apart looking for something that might of bitten me. Nothing. There is no mark on my ankle and no swelling. It now feels oddly a little cold and my ankle hurts a bit if i lift my foot towards my leg. There is also a light ache. Pain seems to be aching up to my knee.

I am 27 yrs old so am young and I was lying down when it happened.

Please help.

Thank you and I really appreciate and help.

Hi nd,
I have no idea what might have caused that kind of sensation but I am also willing to bet it will disappear in a very short period of time. Sometimes we all experience quirky pains that we cannot account for.
However, if the pain persists, then a trip to the doctor will be necessary.

extreme pain in legs
by: cory

I am a 34 yr old male with the same problems. Mine started two yrs ago when out of the blue my right leg swelled to 3x the normal size and became unbearable to walk, went to the E.R. and was admitted with blood clots that stretched from my ankle to my knee. Was released after a week, but a year later the clots were back, and I was readmitted. ever since the first trip I have been awoken from deep sleep with an unbearable pain that if possible I would cut off my own legs. The swelling comes and goes now but when I sleep my legs return to normal size with the occasional waken from sleep with the pain and it seems to get more often and more intense. I am a father of four and scared to death that my time here is going to be up to soon, I'm not ready to die but fear the worst if there is anyone else out there like me please help.
