What Is The Remedy For Sore Legs?
I have had sore legs for about 2 years. it feels muscular. I find it hard moving after sitting in a car or after getting up of the lounge. I do Zumba twice a week, ride a horse every day. I am not over weight, and have started skiing so I am active. I am 48 years old. Eat healthy and enjoy a glass of wine.

Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.
As your symptoms are present since 2 years, a detailed clinical evaluation is necessary to establish the correct cause of your symptoms.There are many causes and conditions that produce soreness in the muscles.
A few general treatment guidelines that might help in relieving your symptoms -
- As most of the muscle related pains are related to calcium and potassium deficiency, consuming diets rich in these compounds may help in relieving the symptoms. Foods such as bananas, potatoes are rich in potassium.Calcium fortified foods like seafood and fish, almonds, flaxseed, oats might be helpful for muscle pains.
- Avoid acidic foods and drinks like tomatoes and vinegar which blocks the body’s natural ability to absorb calcium leading to muscle ache/soreness.
- Quit smoking (if you are a smoker) and avoid dehydration.
I suggest you to consult a Neurophysician for a detailed evaluation and proper diagnosis of your condition.
Hope this information is helpful. Good day
