Drinking water is good as it helps improve blood flow through your vessels. I have terrible leg pain and I take Vitamin C,D and Omega 3-6-9. Try a Chiropractor you may have a pinched nerve. Did you ever suffer trauma to your lower back , tailbone?
Here is a site that may hep you as well.

I do not know what tonic water is but you may be suffering from RLS( restless leg syndrome) or you may have a pintched nerve in your back. Yes water is good for you but i have never heard of someone or a doctor asking you to drink that.

Tonic water contains a small amount of quinine, which can help relieve pain like yours.

i suggest that you go see a chiropractor as soon as you can. it sounds like sciatica nerve problem.
