What Causes Pain At The Back Of The Thighs While Climbing Stairs?

I have a pain/thightness at the back of both my lower thighs behind my knees. Morning seem fine but problem increases as the day progresses. Pain starts when I start to walk but seems ok after starting to walk. Also same happens when climbing stairs. All is fine while sitting or standing. I would like idea(s) before seeing my doctor. Lou

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi,

This pain could be due to sciatica.

I suggest painkillers, MRI of the lower back.

But best is to consult Orthopedic Surgeon and follow him.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
