Achy Legs!

The last few days Ive had this achy/weak feeling in my legs from the knees down, its driving me mental! The feel like I want to stetch them all the time, and when i stand they feel kinda weak.
Ive also got a sore lower back on the right side and the pain, when i lean forwards, goes down my bum, but it feels different to Sciatica, but Im guessing its a nerve thing. Im wondering if thats effecting my legs?
Anyone else had anything like this before, or am I just weird!?
Its kind of like restless legs without the itching and twitching!

They seems to feel better when i go for a nice long walk!

Nah I havent done anything to strain them, but Im pretty sure I have a pinched nerve in my back, thats what it feels like when I lean forward, its a pulling feeling, but more of that nerve pain feeling, ouch!

Try taking magnesium it can really help with aching legs and most muscular soreness.

Im wondering if its to due with AF actually, as it really started getting annoying yesterday!
I got DH to massage my legs before and that made them feel much better.
I'll see how they are once AF is finished, if they are still bothering me I will see the Dr and ask about it and about getting some physio for my back.

Heidismum I might give those pills a go too, thanks :)

Is it like growing pains? I still get these all the time and I hate it, always in my legs from the knee down.

I'm going to mention to my GP next time I see her, but it's kind of embarrassing.. I'm definitely not growing anymore!

I get that feeling but mostly I think it is when I am cold and haven't really realised, and also probably tired at the same time...so like late at night when out of bed.
I noticed I got this in my arms when DS was just little and took ages to feed and I felt so cold when I didn't have a long sleeve top on in the middle of the night...the only thing that made it feel better was to shake it!

TaliP, yeah mine seem worse if Im cold too!

Becks, yep like restless legs! During the day they are not that bad, my right knee/leg feels weaker than the left and its the right side side of my lower back that hurts, was quite sore today, like nerve pain sore.

At night time they ache and its soooooo annyoing, Im always stretching them. I dont have any tingling or numbness, just achy/weak, so dumb! lol

I used to get that when I was a smoker, but it went when I quit. I now get it during pregnancy in the late months - so maybe its just a circulation thing - which is why it would feel so much better after excercise - It sounds a bit like a nervey thing to me - maybe some decent massage oil and a willing hubby will help!

I like that idea rasberryjam My feet feel kinda cold tonight too, so possiblt is a circulation thing. Very odd, it only started like this the other day, sort of when AF started.
I have always suffered low iron, and I had a feeling the other week it was low again, so started on some floradix, I need to buy more, so will see if it improves if I start taking that again, will also go for a walk with the kids everyday to get the circulation going.

Thanks for all the replys girls :) makes me feel much better! I have my feet on the heatpack at the moment and its making my legs feel much better too.(hubby is out!)

Thanks I know my iron is on the low side just from a few things, like dry skin and feeling a bit tired etc so will get back onto the floradix, I like that stuff its gentle and it has other vitamins in it too :)
