How To Treat Pain And Tenderness In Legs Radiating Towards Feet?

Both of my bottom legs down to my feet have been hurting me for the past 2 maybe 3 years,It feels like they are bruised very tender to the touch and now my feet feel very stiff, it hurts to walk, the bottom of my feet feel bruised as well and now Ive notice that the bottom of my left leg is starting to have a numbing feel to it. Both of my legs have a heavy feel to them. Im in so much pain throughout most of the day. I feel like its getting worst .Would like some advice on what I should do.

Hi,

Your complaints of painful legs now turning numb too suggest it to be nerve pain. Nerve irritation or compression at lumbosachlar level or pelvic level can cause it. Detailed examination by an orthopedic surgeon followed by MRI or CT Scan if needful would pin point the cause, followed by specific management (medicines, local injection, physiotherapy or surgery in few cases.)

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
