Subject: Can Osteoarthritis cause pain in the tibia?
Hi everyone. I have been having pain in my left tibia, a couple of inches below the knee for several months. It started gradually, feeling sensitive and sore like a bruise, became increasingly painful coming down the stairs, and then got worse and worse to the point where using the stairs is agonizing, not in the knee but below the knee. And it hurts frequently at rest, and is bad at night. Went to the hospital and they did an xray of knee, not leg, and said it was Ostearthritis, I am 26 so was surprised. But they couldn't really explain why my leg not my knee is hurting. My left leg is a bit swollen, an inch or so bigger than my right and the pain is getting worse! Can osteoarthris cause this? All help will be appreciated. Thanks
