What Does Pain Behind The Legs Indicate?
I was in the severe flood in Houston in September and believe I strained my legs somhow in surviving, carrying heavy boxes and furniture. I have pain in the back of my legs, much worse in right and just a little bit in the the left one if I do too much. I am better off walking a little, am worse when I wake up in the am. If I walk too far in a day I am worse the next day. Am self-medicating with naprosyn sodium (probably taking too much but it works), I think I may have tendonitis.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You can have injury to ligament, muscle tendon or muscle strain. Local part USG or x ray is advisable for further work up. If chronic ligament injury present than repair is needed. Until than non steroid antinflammatory drug can be prescribed. Consult orthopedic surgeon for examination.
