What Could Pain And Discomfort In Knees After Standing For Long Indicate?

lower leg pain
I am 22 yrs of age, 5 feet 11 inches, and weigh 192 lbs. For the past 5 weeks, I have been experiencing pain and discomfort from my knee going down. It is a dull pain that is worse after standing for many hours. My work requires standing for about 5-6 hrs and I have been on this job for 3.5 yrs now. I have tried putting ice on it and stopped going to the gym for almost 3 weeks to rest my legs but the pain is still there. Could you tell what possible conditions might I have?

Thanks,
James

Hi i am Dr Ahmed Aly
thanks for using healthcaremagic site ,
I had gone through your question and understand your concerns ..

In my opinion i think you have some sort of vascular issue that is very common with individuals that stands for a long time . sometimes it only requires some hot massages , wearing compression stockings and leg elevation will be effective .
If pain persists and you feel veins are a bit wide and tortuous or a bit bluish i may suggest Doppler U/S to rule any clots or DVT ( deep vein thrombosis ) for proper evaluation and management .
