Back of legs ache

The last couple of weeks my legs have been aching in the back of my thighs after I sit for awhile and then start walking around. They also feel like I need to stretch them a lot and sometimes crawly or fidgety. Is this another weird thing with fibro? Does it sound like restless leg? It just started a couple of weeks ago and is very annoying.
I also get tired out really easy when they ache like I've been running or doing a lot of leg squats.

I went to a cardiologist today and am getting a stress test and echo tomorrow but he said the circulation in my legs is good.

I feel like I can't get a good breath and am tired all the time. My legs feel like they don't want to walk - like they're wobbly. I'm thinking this is all part of Fibro? Anyone else have this?

Hope I explained it good, I have trouble explaining how I feel. I know how it feels but can't seem to explain it to make any sense to anyone else.

Fibro is a "catch-all" type of syndrome of a variety of symptoms.
It is not a specific disease that affects one particular system or organ.
This is the reason health care practitioners don't like dealing with fibro.
It is very possible , since the majority of fibro cases have an underlying pathogenic infection, the infection has spread to your legs.
The first thing that happens when these pathogens invade a particular part of the body, they fuel their growth by ingesting sterols from the host cells membrane and gradually render them weak by damaging their mitochondria(cells' energy production centre). Cell death is the ultimate consequence of this process.
If you follow the suggestions from my previous post, you will probably delay this, however, cure would be possible only when the pathogenic infectious condition is diagnosed and treated successfully.
Check  immed.org, look into Dr. Garth Nicolson's work, as he's the top expert in this field and go from there.
Most Doctors and specialists are either not familiar or not touching this area of medicine at all (complex medical and business politics)
Let me know if you need more info.

Thanks for all your info. Yes, I've been diagnosed a couple of years ago with Fibro. But my legs muscles haven't hurt this bad til just a couple of weeks ago. They feel like I've been doing squats all day when I'm walking and when I'm sitting, they feel fidgety. I'm thinking maybe it has something to do with the Fibro? And I get tired out more easy now since my legs have been hurting which seems to be connected some how.

Hey lilcee.
Have you been diagnosed with fibro or are you suspecting fibro?
Before any assumptions can be made you need to find out your magnesium levels. So you need a mineral analysis and perhaps an electrolyte analysis
If magnesium deficient-it is very common-pm me as I have an excellent
method for supplementing.
High Tartaric Acid (muscle toxin) levels will also contribute to your issues.
Malic acid supplements will take care of this, however, a low carb diet even better an anti-candida diet may help a lot, as Tartaric Acid needs yeast metabolites to grow. So most likely, any sugar,carbs,yeast, alcohol, "feed" your fatigue.

Co enzyme Q10 production is lower as we age, so maybe you want to have this tested as well. Co Q10 is instrumental in energy production within the cells.
Watch your breathing, as breathing when aching becomes shallower and this results in lactic acid production. High Lactic acid can make you feel you were in a marathon!
So, do deep conscious breathing, engaging your diaphragm and thorax,
for several minutes and repeat throughout the day, until this becomes an automatic function. If it is difficult, go as deep as you are comfortable, aiming for deeper and deeper gradually as you go on.
Stretching your muscles before you go out for a walk and after you finish as well and not staying in the same position for too long will help a lot.
And make sure you are well-hydrated. Do not use thirst as a gauge for this!
I use the color of my urine to establish if I had enough water. The lighter the color the more hydrated I am.
Let me know if need more info.
Take care,
Niko
