pain in legs

[freeboy]

i am a 28 year old male. Since two years i am having pain in my both legs ,specially in left leg. Pain starts from above the knee and goes till calf. pain is more near knee. pain increases when i stand for a long time or do some intense physical work. i have gone through all medical tests like X-ray, MRI of knee and spine, Arthristis profile, diabetes , but nothing is there in these tests. it is more of a muscular pain. and it keeps on increasing. Doctor doesn't said anything. gave some muscles relaxants. what should i do ?

Hello Freeboy,

Welcome to MedHelp's Pain Management Forum. I'm sorry to hear about your undiagnosed pain.

There are pain conditions that effect the soft tissues/muscles  and cause pain. Have you actually consulted a Rheumatologist? If not I would do so.

Have you consulted a D.O. (Doctor of Osteopathy)? DOs that do Osteopathic Manipulation can be an enormous help. They are often able to "find" conditions that other physicians seem to miss - or don't even consider.

Can you describe your pain? Is it an ache, throbbing, shooting, burning or something else? What makes the pain worse - what makes it better?

Are you being prescribed a NSAID) Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory)?  I would hope your medical provider has suggested something to ease your pain. Are you being treated by a Primary Care Physician (PCP)? Does your PCP have a title like, Internal Medicine or Family Practitioner? Have they x-rayed your entire leg or just your knees?

I'll look forward to hearing more from you. Sorry I haven't been of much help. A bit more information may help us - help you.

Regards,
~Tuck

Could also be a vascular issue, visited vascular surgeon yet? Varicose veins and edema?
