Where in your leg?

Ankle or above. Back of foot...the Achilles tendon?

Calf? Do you have swelling anywhere? Pain when you are NOT driving?

Years ago we always had manual stick shifts... but one day my left ankle started protesting, and it has ever since!

Now we have automatics! Sometimes it is just time that is against you. I don't press on a clutch anymore, but that left ankle/foot still flares up anyway.

I wouldn't be afraid of steroid injections. I've had them 4 times over the years and they do work. 2 in the foot, one in the knee and one in my right wrist (when I was pregnant).
