Suggest Treatment For Leg Pain Leading To Sleeplessness And Tiredness
I am 47 and I quit smoking 19 days ago, for the past 2 weeks my legs hurt so bad, it is making me crazy. I have tried 800 mg motrin, aspirin, otc advil, and a muscle relaxer none of it helps, I can t sleep and standing and sitting are painful as well. I so tired can you tell me if this is normal and if it is EVER going to stop?

Hello,
The possibilities are neuropathic pain or peripheral vascular disease. As a first line management, you can take drugs like gabapentin for symptomatic relief.
If symptoms persist better to consult a vascular surgeon and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
