I have been experiencing some pain in my left calf that occurs mainly when I am at rest, usually when I lie down at night. It is a dull ache rather than a sharp or stabbing pain.
I initially thought it might be related to my menstrual cycle, but over time, the episodes have become more frequent. I no longer get periods due to my birth control, yet the pain still occurs occasionally and more often than it used to. Recently, I have also noticed that the pain sometimes radiates down towards my foot.
I find that folding or bending my leg into a particular position helps relieve the discomfort and allows me to fall asleep.
I was recently diagnosed with MS, and I would like to know whether this could be an MS-related symptom.
