What Is The Cause Of Painful Leg Raising?
I have issues with my legs. I cannot lift them very high, Some times I cannot walk after sitting for a period of time. Now my right arm is acting up. It's tough to type this letter. I'm only 42 and in decent health. Wondering what could be happening?

Hi. This could be nerve tension in the legs, and can be related to low back pain, but I will need more clarity:
1. Do you have backache and early morning stiffness?
2. Do you have pain in other joints in your hands, fingers, wrists?
3. Is there a history of Rheumatoid arthritis in your family?
4. Are you partaking in exercise?
In my clinic I would assess and do tests to exclude inflammatory arthritis. My advice is see your doctor before things get worse. Hope this helps.
