Question about leg pain.

[HelloPanda23]

My leg pain started after I continuously focused on my leg due to fears of ALS. As a result, now I get leg pains sometimes when I’m walking. When I walk for a bit, the pain seems to subside and go away completely. This pain usually occurs after I’m sitting down for around 30 mins to an hour, and I feel it when I first get up to walk. It may be due to over focusing on sensations felt on my leg, and also constant self testing I’ve done throughout the month to ensure I don’t have ALS. I had the pains and aches on my right leg, but it’s moving onto my left. Sometimes it switches too, like my right leg feels better and my left one is the one feeling the symptoms now. Is this symptom common in many people, because it’s an odd one and it makes me feel a bit afraid. I’m only 16, btw.

You are just in over the age requirement for our community. Your fears may best be addressed by an orthopedic consultant. Pain is rarely successfully helped from online advice.

No, I don’t really care about the pain. I just want to know if it’s anything serious, and if anyone else had this. This issue occurred after I kept focusing on any pains or aches my body was/is having, and so I know it’s most likely nothing serious at all. I was just hooing to get more relief by seeing whether others had the same issue or not.

Hi HelloPanda; You should check in with your Dr to get a referral to an appropriate consultant as this could be any number of things. FB 🇮🇪

If it doesn't get better anytime soon then maybe I will.
