What Causes Pain While Standing After Sitting For Some Time?

I am a 57 year old female. When I sit for any length of time, whether it be 5 minutes or 5 hours, I have difficulty walking. I also get a lot of pain on the outside of my right leg. Another thing, when I sit or lay down, shocks bounce back and forth all over both legs and feet constantly. It never stops until I get up and move around but the second I lay back down, it starts again and is continuous. Do you have any idea what could cause this?

hi,

thank-you for providing the brief history of you.

As per your age there are possibility of having degenerative changes in the knee joint and also the lumbar spine.

The knee joint pain can be due to early osteoarthritis changes in the knee and the shocking like pain in the legs is due to nerve pinch in the lumbar spine.

I will advice you to undergo a thorough clinical examination and an MRI of knee and lumbar spine to u understand the possible soft tissue Injury.

Treatment:
Physical therapy in my clinical practice has successfully reuslt on patient with similar complaints.

Physical therapy includes - Therapeutic ultrasound therapy, TENS therapy and exercises.

I expect you will recover in 2-3 weeks of time.

Regards
