Leg Pain
Posted: 07-06-07 20:24pm

I have been having leg pains since I was about 10 years old. When I was younger, the doctor's would say it was growing pains. I am now 32 years old, and I am still getting leg pains almost every night. Does anyone else have this problem, and if so, does anyone know what it could be? My doctor says it may be strain or muscle aches, but, why have I had them for so long?

Hello there

I'm sorry it's taken so long to reply ... Confused
Can I ask if you are a active person, or likes doing strenuios activities, such as sport or arobics? If you are a busy Mum, it's easy to overdo it, and not realised you may have strained something... if it is muscle related, a warm (not hot) bath may relax any aches n pains .... don't think hot baths help, cos all they do is inflame the muscle more...
You may have been having these all your life, as you've probably done any task you do too the limit .. ie carried 6 bags of shopping instead of 2 at a time, even overdoing any work or lifting ..like picking up all 3 kids, instead of one at a time..
I've noted you've consulted with your doctor, if you are still concered, seek a second opinion.

Take care - and don't overdo anything
