I suddenly woke up during the night with pain in my legs and later when putting on my leggings I was shocked that they were so tight for me I had to pull them up - that’s never bin the case. I just knew something wasn’t right and a did my usual googling. It says all sorts. After removing them I later wore them again and they went up fine as usual. I’ve got pain in my legs tho. What is all this can anybody help? I’m really worried

Hi there dear Saeeda1 - it's horrible when you can't pinpoint the cause and act on it! Have you considered complementary therapy? I'd look About for a well qualified person working with The Bowen Technique or the NeuroStructural Integration Technique (NST)...... can be near-miraculous. I've just retired, and can give you more advice with attachments, if necessary. But will need you email address so I don't take up space on this site. Do you drink enough water (about 1.5 litres pure water/day?), and take plenty daily exercise? All important! Best wishes Timbow.👍

It is difficult to know what to suggest, it may be caused by the way you are sleeping or even the need for a new bed or mattress.If the problem is happening regular you need to see your doctor, if the pain is from buttock to knee it can be posibly sciatica. Try warm compresses before sleep that may help circulation, Raising the leg higher with a pillow under foot and knee can help.

If this is a frequent problem your Doctor needs to have a look at the legs and possibly arrange a possible treatment plan

Are you getting pins and needles or tingling down the leg. Are you cycling or are you a labourer.

Not what you're looking for?
