Remedy For Leg Pain After Walking Short Distances?
I now have chronic pain in the quad muscle in my right leg, pain increases merely by walking relatively short distances. My condition started some 6 months ago and has become more constant and the pain more severe over time. The pain subsidies somewhat when sitting.

It lokks to me that your problem is due to lumbar canal stenosis. In this condition there is limited space in spine for nerve. I would recommend you to get MRI of spine. you can post your report to us. If space is less then 9 then you would need surgery. If space is between 9 to 13 then pregabablin and Methylcobal tablet will help you. Stop smoking if you do.
