Leg ache

[Chocksaway]

Hi does anyone else have major leg aches in the morning when they get up? It feels like the muscles are aching all over in different places, but it’s really uncomfortable as opposed to strained muscles. It does wear off after I’ve been up for an hour or so but not particularly pleasant during that time.

Yes I do, but I can walk it off, and it goes after about ten minutes. I don’t really know what causes it, I’m presuming lack of oxygen to the muscles. It seems to occur in all different places in my legs at different times. It’s just another problem to deal with!

It does wear off, and you’re right it moves around all over the place, I just find it hard to get moving first thing

Yes, I have awful leg pains and take co codamol to ease the pain. I had some sort of neuropathy which was so painful last Autumn. After stopping my anti depressants as advised by a member I dont have those awful pains any longer. Apparently some anti depressants can cause it. However I still have leg pain but don't know the actual cause. Possibly not enough oxygen getting to the muscles.

I think that is the cause, it’s just odd that I only get it when I get up in the morning

Perhaps to do with circulation ? Once you start moving around everything is fine. I know it takes me ages and a long hot shower in the morning to clear my lungs a bit and for assorted aches and pains to settle down.
