LEGS
I am 42 years old and my legs are always aching , hurting and tired. I walk 45 minutes a day. When I go upstatirs too fast, they shake real bad. I have had every test in the book done on me(MRI, CAT SCAN, EEG, blood work) and everything came up negative. I eat right and drink fluids all day.What else could it be?
have you been tested for diabetes??? my dad is a diabetic and has to take zydol every day and night to ease the pain, dont know what diabetes he as so please get checked for all hope this helps, or arthritis
check for lyme,,,,get a westerb blot ....try to find a lyme doc in ur area..there called LLMD's.. samr thing happened to me.. got western blot by igenex labs...now finally figured out what the heck was wrong with me
Lyme is a possibility, however in most cases the problem is due to lack of circulation. The shaking is often due to a calcium deficiency, generally secondary to low levels of vitamin D3. So, a Lyme test would be reasonable, as well as a dopplar of the legs, and a D3 level test.
I'm thinking it's a circulatory issue as well. Tired, achy legs are cardinal signs of blood pooling in the leg veins. Do you have swelling in your legs when on your feet for extended periods of time? The veins in the legs have valves to prevent the backflow of blood. Veins have no ability to pump blood back to the heart. Repeated muscle movements are needed to 'milk' the blood to the heart. Sometimes these valves get leaky and don't hold the blood properly. You can wear compression stockings to assist the blood return. They are very effective in managing achy, tired legs. Elevating your legs and wiggling your toes is helpful too.
Other causes are potassium, calcium and magnesium deficiencies. Lasix (furosemide) is a common diuretic that depletes potassium. Your local health food store is a great source of information for mineral supplements.
