Answer 1

Reasons can be either Vein disorders or Arthritis.

1.Veins bring blood back to heart. Like foot valve of a water pump, many valves in legs, thigh and body upto stomach area stop downward flow of blood. When man is able to stand, he got into one problem. Pumping blood from limbs upwards. Veins have no pulses to propagate flow. Upward flow of blood is mediated by carf muscles through which the veins pass up. the cavity between two valves function as a pump. movong pedel up and down (Like a tailor, but in lying position help pumping of blood upwards. If you feel the leg is more warm, that indicates a venous obstruction, may be a small clot or constriction. It has to be ascertained whether there is any block. If so, it may be possible to be removed using an embolectomy catheter.

2. Arthritis involves the breakdown of cartilage.

Cartilage normally protects the joint, allowing for smooth movement. Cartilage also absorbs shock when pressure is placed on the joint, like when you walk. Without the usual amount of cartilage, the bones rub together, causing pain, swelling (inflammation), and stiffness. You may have joint inflammation for a variety of reasons, including:

Broken bone

Infection (usually caused by bacteria or viruses)

An autoimmune disease (the body attacks itself because the immune system believes a body part is foreign)General "wear and tear" on jointsOften, the inflammation goes away after the injury has healed, the disease is treated, or the infection has been cleared.

With some injuries and diseases, the inflammation does not go away or destruction results in long-term pain and deformity. When this happens, you have chronic arthritis. Osteoarthritis is the most common type and is more likely to occur as you age. You may feel it in any of your joints, but most commonly in your hips, knees or fingers.

Risk factors for osteoarthritis include:

Being overweight Previously injuring the affected joint. Puttinging the affected joint in a repetitive action that puts stress on the joint (baseball players, ballet dancers, and construction workers are all at risk) Arthritis can occur in men and women of all ages. About 37 million people in America have arthritis of some kind, which is almost 1 out of every 7 people. Rheumatoid arthritis (in adults) is one.

Please consult a General Physician who can diagnise and derive at. He can refer you to a specialist, either a cardiologist, Orthopedic surgeon,vascular surgeon or an interventional radiologist who can evaluate and rectify your problem.

Answer 2

Sounds like the cause of the pain is a nerve in your spinal column.

The nerve can be radiating down to your knee and leg...Both knees and both legs.

Try a pain medication so that you are able to get out of Bed....then walk for a while on a flat level surface.

Good Luck.
