I am 26 years old, I drank a six pack last night(i dont usually drink) and all was fine and I didnt even wake up with a hangover but I did wake up with leg pain...Its a dull aching pain seems like behind the shins below the knee. I dont know if its anything to worry about or if I should even go to the doctor...I didnt wake up with cramps at all so I dont think that it is that. My legs feel fine most of the time when Im standing up and if I cross my legs kinda half indian style I get a sharp pain seeming line on my shin and that seemed to alleviate the pain in one leg for awhile but it came back...does anyone know what couldve happened and how can I treat it.

It's the nullifying effect of alcoholic drinks and a big diet of sugar, and sometimes it may just be the fact that you have overexherted yourself?

Go to the chiropratiction.

When you drink alcohol, your body uses up the fluids that it needs and you dehydrate, which also lowers your potassium levels...low Potassium, will cause leg aches, and it also causes heart palpation's.. drink plenty of fluids to replace what you have lost and also bannas are high in potassium.

Dude, i wake up every morning with my legs on FIRE but that is due to my BAD back and i'm about to have a total hip replacement. But i have noticed that if i drink the pain gets worse so no more drinking for me. Yesterday it swelled up so bad i had to go to the ER where they gave me 75mg of demerol and 7 mgs of phenagren..................and the pain was not completely gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Man, it's time for the surgery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Drink alot of water and DO NOT drink anymore alcohol!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You'll see, if you drink water all day you will feel better tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
