What Causes Pain In The Legs?
For the last 6 months I have been experiencing pain in both legs. It has gotten worse in the last month, I have leg cramps at night in both legs. I have recently lost 16 lbs over the last 3.5 months with weight watchers. I went from 142 lbs. to 127 lbs. If I walk or move it gets better. I am 57 years old.

Hi,
It can be due to peripheral vascular disease due to poor blood supply to the leg.
Consult a general surgeon and get an ultrasound Doppler to assess the blood flow.
As of now, you can take analgesics like Tramadol for pain relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
