Suggest Remedy For Sore Weak & Stiff Legs
My legs have been sore/week/stiff as if I have worked out the day before but this occurs whenever I rest then get up or sit for a few minutes then get up. I have tried to figure out if it was my vitamins or water softened water. I just moved three months ago to new apartment so these are the only things I can think of that have changed.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have sore weak & stiff legs . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like nerve compression , diabetes , neuropathy or multiple Sclerosis . I would suggest you to do light stretching exercises along with gentle massage , apply warm compresses on entire leg and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain . If condition doesn't get well then consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination. Doctor may order blood test or RH factor , CT scan or MRI along with physical examination to confirm the diagnosis . Doctor may prescribe methotrexate , anti inflammatory , gabapentine long with nerve supplement and recommend physical theray .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
