What Causes Burning Sensation, Pain And Swelling In The Legs?
Hi my name is Ashley and I have a question as to what would be causing discomfort to my legs. If I stand still for longer then 10 minutes my legs have sort of a burn sensations to them and hurts almost like a intense growing pain but different. my knees start to swell up right above the knee cap and my back starts to hurt almost on my side but not and sometimes in the middle of my lower back. Not always in the order but my main concern is the burning sensations or discomfort in my legs if I keep moving its tolerable but I m a cashier and a lot of the times I m standing still and I need to try and find away to get some comfort. I m tired all the time and I m tired of dealing with swollen ankles. thank you for any help in advice you can give me. ashley
