Leg pain and Fatigue

Hi ladies

Does anyone experience leg pain around their ankles and behind their shins with fatigue?

Also does it hurt down there when you sit down? Whenever I sit down I think my muscles tense at least that's what it feels like.

It might be worth having a blood test to see if your b 12 is normal as it could be to do with that its called pernicious anaemia my daughter has it and endo if not at least you can rule it out good luck x

I've been checked 4 anemia but all came back normal, they said I had a really high hemoglobin.

I hope they are doing something about that as its to do with your oxygen levels in your blood and your heart lungs x

My gyn and my doctor said I shouldn't worry about it because I have a high lung volume as well as a lower BP, but still I don't know what it means and my doctors wouldn't tell me, and all I learnt in bio was that it was probably genetic.

I have leg pain but it's the tops of my legs. It's there 24/7 but gets worse at period time

Yes, I get horrible fatigue and hip/leg pain at random times and often it comes on quite quickly. Not nice at all but all part of the endo apparently according to my consultant. I try to nip the pain in the bud by taking painkillers as soon as it starts which means I carry them with me all the time. I also take a lot of naps even though I do sometimes feel like an old woman doing it! Xx
