I have leg problems they throb. aches, heaviness, mostly from below the knee. However my knees have arthritis. don t have any hardly any varicose veins. I have had a fracture two years ago in my right foot and that never really got that much better. Had therapy and had a boot, still feels stressed. My legs feel heavy after I have sit down and then get up. in the morning to, gets swollen because I m on my feet, on concert all day in a warehouse. by the I m a female and 54 years old and over weight. about 50 to 80 lbs over weight. but even so should I have this type of discomfort every day? I am walking with discomfort with my foot every day and my muscles fell weak and stress.
