Hi i'm 22 an i have been having leg pain every since i could remember. When i would walk or stand for a long period of time my legs would ache like a tooth ache. I can only stand up for 2 hours before my legs would just start to ache. Sometime its both of them sometime its just one. When the weather changes it hurts really bad then. It dosn't happen that offten but every now an then they would hurt while sitting down for a long period of time i'm talkin maybe about 8 hours. I have been to the docotor an had x-ray done they rulled out arthritis. But couldn't find a problem with my legs. I have allways ran track started at age 8 an stop at 15. Around 12 i had gotten shin plints an the pain was too much for me to bear. I'm 5'1 105 i have allways been slim. I hope someone could at least send me a the right direction. This has affected my life big time. Thanks in advance

Are you flat footed by chance? sometime, poor feet can be the cause...what I do for my aching legs, is to take Arnica montana X6....from the health food stores...you just dissolve 6 under your tongue, you will be amazed at how fast the legs aches will go...Let me know if you try this miracle little vitamin...just amazing...Good luck

If you drink a lot of dark soda (like coke or pepsi even coffee) can have effects on your legs if your not getting enough calcium. But too much calcium can damage your kidneys. Drink lots and lots of water. I try soaking my legs in hot water and I also take ibprofen. That seems to help me out a bit. also try going to the Physical therapists. They can hopefully point out what it can be if it is muscle and give you ideas of what you can do. Sometimes if doctors can't see a problem like a break then they don't know what is wrong. So Try the PT's

When my legs hurt, I take a pill called "legatrin". It has a form of quinine in it. It is mostly used for "restless leg syndrome" but it also helps other stuff. You might request testing for cancer, lukemia, or whatnot... if dr refuses, be refered to another doc. Don't want to mess around if you have it.

My suggestion would be to go to good shoe store and purchase good athletic shoes with maximum comfortable arch support. Just betcha your legs will feel better.

It sounds like it might be related to Sciatica. Read this and see if it fits: http://www.spine-health.com/topics/cd/sciatica/sciatic_nerve01.html

It could be R.L.S, restless leg syndrome.
