What Causes Pain In Leg?
Question: Hi,
My legs (below knee) pains very badly and sometimes feels like the nerves are stretched for a long period of time. Putting pain relief ointment gives relief for a small period but not of much help.
I do drive car for approximately 4 hours in a day, not sure whether this is a reason for pain.
Can you please advise what could be the cause and how can I cure it.
Thanks.

Brief Answer:
Do back and quadriceps strengthening exercises.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through your query.
From your history it seems that due to prolonged driving, your nerves in lumbar region get stretched. This problem occurs commonly in drivers due to wrong posture while driving.
All you need is get xray of lumbosacral spine done in AP and Lateral view and send me the report, so that I can see the present condition of your vertebrae and discs.
Also due to prolong sitting your quadriceps gets weak.
You can take aceclofenac + thiocochicoside combination one tab three times a day.
Do back and quadriceps strengthening exercises as uploaded on you tube.
I hope you have got your answer.
Thanks.
