Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I spend a lot of time on my feet every day 9-10 hours. Lately my lower legs ache so bad to the point it is hard to move. Feels like my Muscles are super tight....like I gave run a marathon. What is the best thing to do for relief and any concerns I should have? There is no swelling, but when I bend down to stretch them out it sounds like crinkling paper.
Hi Thanks for posting on HCM The pain you describe is probably caused by stress/strain from your daily activities.You may not need any special medications to get over this.You just need rest.I will suggest you take a break if possible.In the meantime, if the pain too serious, you may try the following: -A pain drug like ibuprofen -A myorelaxant like miorel. -Heat /ice pack therapy If symptoms persist, you see the Doctor for evaluation. Hope this will help Best regards
