Suggest Treatment For Leg Pain And Stiffness In Joints
Good evening, I have really awful pain in my right leg at night, and both legs are restless. All my joints are very stiff .also after sitting for even a short time, I have extreme difficulty in starting off not sure which foot to use as my right leg feels wobbly. I do take pain killers but max 4 daily. As I dont want to get used to them.

Hi you have night pain in your (R) leg at night and both your legs are restless and you have difficulty in starting off. In my opinion you are probably suffering from spinal canal stenosis causing night pains and early morning stiffness. I suggest painkillers , muscle relaxants , Gabapentin and MRI of the spine.Rest will depend on your MRI Report.
