Leg Pain

Posted By Jamie on August 13, 1998 at 15:58:56:







Hi! I'm 22 years old and was diagnosed with spinal arthritis about 3 years ago. The last two months I have been having leg pain. The pain usually is in the same spot in both legs at the same time. It is most uncomfortablw when I sit down for long periods.
My legs do feel better when I walk and am more active. I feel the pain from my butt, to my heels. I feel really uncomfortable when I stand for long periods of time! My heels ache and my achilles tendon hurts. How can one differentiate between circulation problems and arthritis problems?
I'm 5'6 and 140 so I'm not overweight and I don't smoke. I'm also not on birth control. Also, after sitting for long periods my legs get tingly, like the circulation is poor. Could this be sciatica?
Thanks so much for your help!
