What Causes Terrible Pain In Legs?

I have leg pain in both legs, it s a aching terrible pain feels like I ve been working out for hours it s really painful and I get it everyday after being on my feet for 4 to 6 hours during the day, I m 53 and very active, did restaurant management for 30 years and am used to being in my feet, but the pain is so bad. 5 years ago I bent down and a small bone broke in left Lower back and it went into the nerve, they did surgery and removed it, so fir a long time my left leg has hurt but doctors say it s because of injury to left side of lower back, but now it s both legs, and it s not shooting it s really serious aching like I ve been on a 10 hour bike ride or something?

thank you for your query....

since when are you having the pain?
do you notice engorged veins over your leg?
are you heavily built?
is the pain muscular pain or like a neurological pain?

kindly answer these questions for better understanding of your problem...

anyways as of now do the following-

give your legs some rest after 2-3hours of standing
after returning from work, keep your legs elevated for some time
use hot compress on your legs twice a day for 7 days
take tablet ibuprofen 400 twice daily after food for 5 days
take tablet pantoprazole 40 twice daily before meal for 5 days


let me know about your health in 5 days...

hope you have a speedy recovery...
you can ask me any other questions for further information...

regards
