I have been dealing my leg and back pain for many years

I have been dealing my leg and back pain for many years

While I worked on my dissertation I experienced a great deal of lower back pain.

Massage
Hot Showers
Walking

were the remedies, the temporary cures

when I was walking 3 to 5 to 7 days a week for an hour to 3 hrs for exercise or simply walking for fun wherever I was the back pain stopped.

During the past 3 1/2 years I have been experiencing on and off bouts of

a. soreness in my legs: calves or thighs or both

b. pain from moderate to sharp and intense in my legs: calves or thighs or both

Since December some physical therapy exercises have helped with the back pain and sometimes with the leg soreness or pain.

Most recently those exercises and others have helped but not for long

Also my GP has had me

a. add B-12 pills to my mix of medicines

b. stopped taking the statin pill for two weeks (no improvement)

Friends have recommended

a. yoga
b. massage
c. acupuncture
d. podiatry work, orthodics again for the 3rd time in the last 39 years.

Last night I experienced bad pain even after using the exercises

one pair of exercises that are to help with the legs
requiring 10 reps for 10 seconds each have been painful

Today I will do the two basic exercise

leaning forward, to both sides for 5 reps

and

laying on both sides in two positions for 2 times each, rep 3 times each

I will do those more often

I am cutting the leg stretching (leaning forward not using a strap or scarf or towel) back to 5 reps for 5 sec on both sides

I am experiencing a knot or soreness in right shoulder blade.

Next Friday I will talk with my GP about how to FIND THE ROOT CAUSE so that a plan can be put together to get rid of it finally

or to learn if this will be with me for months to years and learn how to minimize the pain.
