Wifes right thigh & calf muscle lock very hard and skin below knee feels tight and burns. She needs help?"My wife has had 2 back operations (fusing and screws) and in January 2007 a neck op with screws and cage all in the last 27 months. Her original pain was in her lower back and her thigh muscle in her right leg and calf would lock up very hard. The operations have eliminated her back pain, but her leg is the same and her skin in the leg feels like it tightens below her knee and burns at times. Her leg bothers her 24/7, can anyone help us?" in Yahoo! Answers

Take her to a doctor ASAP she may need some serious medical attention. I would not ask for people's opinion on Yahoo answers unless you know 100% sure the people who answer are doctors.
I hope your wife gets better soon.

Dear Concerned Husband,
As an R.N., I would want to know if the opposite leg does the same. How does the skin look? Is it red, swollen, painful? Are there any wounds? bleeding? drainage?
Can she walk? or is she in bed?
I recommend that you go back to her primary doctor for an exam. Perhaps he can refer you to an orthopedic or vascular doctor. Perhaps there is some sort of an infection, clot, or poor circulation.
Good Luck,
Angie R.N.
