What Causes Heaviness In The Upper Leg After Walking For Long?
I ve been exercising by climbing the stairs in my apartment (13 in all) by doing sets of seven at least once a week. Recently when I was walking, I noticed a funny feeling in my left leg, and I m thinking all sorts of horrible things are wrong. I m a hypochondriac with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and my thoughts are immediately going to the worst. I just came back from a long walk and I felt a heaviness in the upper left leg. I m scared to death. Please help!

Hello,
Don't worry it is a simple muscle cramp.
Take rest, drink plenty of water. Use cold and warm compression. If symptoms not improved use NSAIDs (if necessary). Please consult your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
