leg pain
Hello, I am writing to ask about some recent leg pain I am having.
It is a dull ache that occurs after standing for even ten or fifteen minutes.
When I clean the house for an hour my legs are extremely tired afterwords. Both of my knees often hurt. Often my hips hurt as well. I have started doing side leg lifts and stretching the IT band. The standing problem seams a little worse. Background I am 32 years old.
I had acl surgery about 9 months ago.
I have had small bouts with sciatica (I think). The sciatica symtoms are a pain in my big toe.
I usually take vitamins but have been a little lax about it lately. Any advice you have would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Kathleen

Hi….question…are you overweight??? If you are, that stresses the joints big time. I would recommend that you don’t stand for long periods of time and lose weight if you are overweight. If not, you may be developing arthritis. You may want to go to your dr. and get checked out.
Good luck, Mya
