Weird stabbing pains
I'm in my mid-twenties, female... Is it normal to get stabbing pains down through my leg? It happens on random sides, and I think it happens when I eat a lot of carbs... It kinda feels like there is a serrated knife being pushed through the length of my main vein/artery at intermittent intervals, it goes through my inner thigh to the back of my knee to my heel. Also around when this happens, certain areas of my skin get sore- like a cross between an invisible bruise and how it might feel if your skin were to be ripped away from your muscle. It sucks! Any ideas? Is this some crazy horrible thing or does this happen to a lot of people?

My step dad had the thing you are describing... I know the name but it is slipping me right now... but it is a really bad sign. Go to the doctor, because you might need to get a stint in your artery. He had what you are describing, and soon enough couldn't walk and even had two heart attacks. But, I can't be positive it's what you have. If though, you have a pretty high fat diet or history of cholesterol, I suggest you get that checked out. Oh, I don't mean to scare you or anything, just trying to help.

My Jaw
I used to have something that sounds similar with my jaw aching like that, usually when I would eat too much pasta and stuff (which, of course is a carb). It hasn't happened in a quite a while, but who knows if it's still there. I doubt it's a bad thing, but maybe go to a doctor to be sure...?

I am a doctor who just finished my residency. Im hesitant to say its anything serious. It sounds like a simple cramp to me, probably having something to do with the foods you describe. however if you notice any periods of lightheadedness, irregular heart beat, or loss of sensation that correspond with the pain see a doctor immediatly

If its your arteries you better get that checked out, if you get a blood clot in your leg it can travel to your heart and you can have a heart attack. You should see a doctor. Not normal!
