LEG pain

[goal65]

i know ive heard of leg pain like cramps but a few days ago, im not saying atkins is the cause but im just wondering if there is a chance at all... i got a bump on my lower leg and thought i had banged it.. then i thought it was a spider bite because the area and around it became hot and red and very hard and tight (the skin) and now its to a point where i can barely walk and im in SO much pain however, i did lose 2 lbs overnight!! WOO!! the doctor said it was an ingrown hair infection but when i researched that, it does not appear to be that at all and it is possible the doctor misdiagnoised me. please help me out! thanks

Hmm. the only leg pain I've had with Atkins is after hard workouts. they were sore and crampy and made it hard to sleep. so i made sure i took my vitamins, switched from regular table salt to No salt brand potassium salt and frequently take an bath with epsom salts to get rid of the cramps. what you describe sounds to me like maybe you did get an insect bite or something. I'd go see a different doctor for a second opinion!

im looking to go to a different doctor today although i wanted to see if the anti biotics kicked in over the 24 hour period. I'm going back friday morning to see him again i want him to take a better look at it.

Sounds like some sort of insect bite going on. So have it checked out, and take all the antibiotics that were prescribed.
