achy and painful legs
About two weeks ago I began walking one hour per day. I began having pain in my calves and cramping about two days ago I began experiencing achy and heavy legs by the time I finish my walking routine my legs felt like they weight a ton it was so difficult to walk. I currently continue with the heaviness in my legs and the pain. Yesterday while I was walking I felt a mild chest pressure it lasted seconds. I am going crazy because my doctor is not taking my c/o serious I need to know whether i should worry or not.
before now, how long has it been since you last did any type of pysical activity? are you over weight currently? do you have any health issues?
may i ask do you smoke if so thats the cause of your problem i have the same symtpoms , id walk for a bit then my calf muscles would hurt to a point id have to stop for a while until i can walk again.....i learned that this is caused by your leg arteries supplying blood to your leg muscles are being narrowed and less blood is reaching your calf muscles causing the heavy pain....if you do not smoke then you should refer to a vascular surgeon if possible....
