Hi Shilpa,

I'm glad you found EmpowHer, let's see what information we can find for you.

Can you describe the pain in more detail? For instance, would you describe it as stabbing, burning, needles, aching, pinching or other?

Where in your right leg is the pain? Front, back, sides, knee, thigh, hip, calf, shin, all or none of these? Is it a pain that feels like it travels up and down, or is it a consistent/steady pain in one area? (You said, "The pain begins above mid-leg & sometimes goes up into my right buttocks"). Does mid-leg include your knee, or is it your thigh or hamstring (meaning, front or back of leg?).

Is it pain from muscle, or does it feel more like its a nerve pain, or from a joint?

I have a toddler, too, and have had a few issues with the repetitive-motion injuries (mine was not my leg, but my wrist from the way I was holding him). I had to go to physical therapy and wear a wrist brace for a few months at night, and now I have no more pain (I could not even pick up a milk carton, the pain was so bad). My over-use injury was, deQuervain's tendonitis, and I wrote about it last year at the link above, if you're curious).

I hope to hear back from you soon, and I will see what information I can find for you regarding your leg pain.
