Hi, I have had pains in my legs like this on and off since I was 17. At the time I had a very old fashioned Dr who told me my jeans were too tight and I stopped going to see him as I got so fed up being told there was nothing wrong and I suppose I was young and thought they were actually still growing pains. I also used to spend occasional weekends in bed as I was so tired but thought that was because I have never slept well since a baby and it was just catching up with me. Over the years I had pain in other places but not really thought about it as it went away after a few days apart from a constant bad back, but put that down to my job in care. My brother died in 2019 and the pain got so much worse everywhere I had to give up work. I was finally diagnosed with fibro at age 54 but suspect I have had it much longer. Hope you get the help you need and you're Dr isn't like the one I saw 40 years ago.
