I’ve all of a sudden got pain in both of my legs. Constant pain. I’m alittle worried because my nephew had this and it ended up being COVID-19.
Could it be that in my case if the pain is from and back of legs all the way down down. Anybody got any idea? It only started this evening out of the blue whilst Asleep
I hope your feeling a bit better today. I get leg pains too, in my case it is sciatica from the back. Speak to your GP. Good luck
Definitely follow up with your doctor or seek out a Covid test to make sure you don’t have it. In the meantime you might take just a little bit of magnesium—too much makes my bowels loose, but a small amount works to stop the aches in muscles that seem to come on suddenly as well. Other people seem to tolerate magnesium better than me so instead of trying to break off one of the 100 mg tablets into a tiny fraction I found a jar of magnesium powder. The taste is very unpleasant, but if you mix it into a very strong fruit juice and drink it fast it’s not too bad. And, good news—if you can taste how bad it tastes at least you don’t have the “no taste” symptom for Covid.
One other thing you might consider is how active you are. This pandemic has forced a lot of us inside and I certainly haven’t been able to get out and walk as much as before. If you can stand on the edge of a stairway so that you can stay in place and stand on your toes for a few seconds and then lower your heels beneath the level of the stair you are on several times should help loosen thing up. My partner wears long support socks during the day to help with his legs and generally helps keep fluids from building up in his calves.
If you do have blood clots it is extremely important for you to get that treated so please take care. Best wishes.
I dont think the 2 are actually linked, but pure coincidence.
Leg pain can be a symptom of so many things, edemas, sciatica, trapped nerves, a slipped disc, DVT.
So if this is non trauma pain, it's definitely wise to go see your Dr.
Thanks for your replies,rabbits65

Macblanck. It’s after reading alot about leg pain and COVID-19 that I got paranoid maybe. I’ll see how it goes. Because the pain come and goes.
Hi sid123 when you say pain in yours legs does it start in your buttocks? If so it sounds like sciatica so that means pressure from your spine does your back hurt ?
Hi Betsy50 the pain starts from my thighs it feels. Going so the way down but no my back doesn’t hurt
Sounds like Sciatica.
Hi - I am sorry to hear about your pain. Have you contacted your GP and discussed this with them. Sciatic pain down both legs, coupled with weaknesses, changes in bladder or bowel frequency and numbness in your leg or foot is deemed a potential red flag for cauda equina (I had this 3 years ago which was diagnosed too late with a poor outcome - I also thought it was sciatica and so did my doctor). My advice get it checked out - only an MRI will determine the issues you have with your lower back.
I have the same pain. It starts in my lower back, buttocks and whole legs. I've also noticed I get constipated more now. Could I have the same thing? Cauda equina? How's it treated?
Hi there. Sorry that you are also in pain. Only a GP or surgeon can make the diagnosis of cauda equina Syndrome (CES) with the help of MRI. When I had the condition in the last month before surgery i was struggling to walk because of the severity of the pain. In the last 2 weeks I was laid up in bed and had to crawl to go to the bathroom. Although I did have alternating constipation and loose bowels, in the last few days this condition is best known for loss of bladder and bowel control and saddle numbness to a pin prick test. Sciatica in one leg hurts; in both legs it really hurts and affects walking. My advice - get it checked out by a Doctor now. With back problems you do not know what you are dealing with, until you find out, then it might too late. Take care and let me know how you get on
