Is Tender Areas On My Right Leg Caused Due To Poor Circulation?

I am 56 yr male. I have several areas on my right leg that are tender to the touch. All three spots run down the inner side of my right leg. One spot in middle of inner thigh; then upper shin area below knee;and between ankle and calf muscle. Had tenderness in thigh area for years. Most noticeable when driving long distances. Wondering if it is caused by poor circulation????

Hello,
Thanks for your query.

According to your description , pain and tenderness over your thigh and leg seems to be inflammatory in nature. It could be due to poor circulation.

I advice you to give you rest to the part affected, take anti-inflammatory drug like motrin 1 tablet with food as and when required (upto 4 tablets daily) to reduce pain and inflammation and consult your doctor for thorough examination of leg and rule out any infective cause.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
