Suggest Treatment For Stiff Lower Legs

In the past four months my lower legs have gotten stiff after sitting down for a little while specially after getting out of my car while driving. I am 68 and have jogged for approximately 35 years 3 times a week. My symptoms are not painful just a stiffness

Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you are having varicose vein or heart problems. You need to do a clinical examination and heart function test. Till then you can avoid keeping your limbs dependant. You can use elastic bandages which give relief. You can discuss your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. You can also write to me directly on below link:
