What Causes Pain And Numbness In Legs?

I feel pain and lifeless sort of feeling in my both legs, below knee area. Mostly in calf muscles. I am having this pain for more than 3 years now and 24 hours a day. In the morning, its hard to get up and do something. I am really low in energy levels all the time. Standing for long, intensifies the pain. I have consulted many doctors, neurologists, they gave many stress relieving medicines along with vitamins but nothing helped even a bit. I want to do exercises but there is literally no energy in me due to these prolonged pain. I feel low and down through out the day at work and at home too. Please advise.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Dear patient
you need detailed blood check up for complete blood count with ESR level. Low hemoglobin level may be the reason for lethargy and weakness. Pain in the Lower limbs may be due to spine pathology with nerve compression. first xray of the lumbo sacral spine anteroposterior and lateral views and them Mri of the lumbo sacral spine with screening of whole spine needs to be done. Please get it done from radiology centre nearby you. Meanwhile start tab pregalin x 75 mg one at bedtime with tab ultracet twice a day for pain relief. if report is abnormal you need to consult orthopaedic surgeon nearby your area with report.
