Question: Hi yes my lower legs hurt when I rub the side of my leg near the ankle it hurt
Brief Answer:
Please answer these questions and take a ADVIL for now.
Detailed Answer:
Hi!
You mention that your ankles hurt when you touch or rub them. First of all, I'd ask you if you have had a fall or an injury. If so, you might have to use a compression bandage for some time and take analgesic pain killers like advil, which are available in any drug store without a precription. Thus, given these circumstances, I would like you to take a complete blood test. This will reveal a lot of facts and will enable us to rule out a lot of illnesses that cause ankle and leg pain. I would kindly ask you if you have certain long standing illnesses, I would also quiz you on how long this pain and hurt in the limbs has been going on? days? weeks? months, perhaps? Furthermore if you do not mind I want to politely enquire whether you use tobacco or smoke.
Please think carefully and write back to me with these answers so I can help you better.
Until then, you can make a trip to your local drug store a purchase some ADVIL (IBUPROFEN).
Take good care of yourself.

Detailed Answer:
Hi!
I would like to thank you for this valuable information. When people have a tendency to stand up, for extended periods of time, due to various reasons, the veins, huge ones, that are responsible for taking blood back to the heart from the legs, get pressured. There occur issues and problems in their valves. So, they become subtly engorged and painful.
So, your solution now is very easy. You do not need drugs or medicines. Kindly visit a simple general doctor for a confirmation, and get a compression stocking, these are widely available without a doctors prescription and very easy to use. These will increase the back pressure and !! no more pain.
On the other hand, there is a remote chance that indeed you might rarely be having an issue with your sciatic nerve of your leg. In this case, Can I ask you whether this pain of your's starts at your hip and shoots down towards your ankle?
If not, then you can just take some ADVIL and go buy a compression stocking.
Do ask for guidance.
