Pain in right leg
My friend is constantly having severe pain and swelling in her right leg below the knees on the backside of the leg which is making difficult for her to even walk or stand sometimes. The area becomes hardened on the inner side.. Plus the pain is not constant. Someday it won't pain and again the other day it starts paining. What's the actual problem and which doctor should I consult neuro or ortho??
