What Does Pain In The Lower Legs Indicate?

I am 69 years old. Always had good health. Took 5 Lifeline test a month ago and passed them all. Have pain in lower legs when I wake up in morning. Sometime in middle of night. Also have occasional pain in shoulders and back. Nothing serious but wondering if I should get checked out.

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query carefully.

From what you are describing it doesn't seem like something serious. Most probably it is osteoarthritis.

But, since the information you have given me is not full, and also it is good to get a physical examination and understand what is going on, then yes I suggest that you consider getting checked out.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Kind regards,
Dr. Papaqako
