What Would Cause Persistent Pain In The Legs While Sitting For Any Length Of Time And While Sleeping?
I have pain along the outside of my legs when I sit for almost any length of time. After an hour of driving or eating at a restaurant I limp for a little while then the pain goes away. I also have pain there when I am sleeping. It sometimes wakes me up. ????

Hi,
The symptoms are suggestive of peripheral vascular disease due to poor blood circulation.
You can consult a general surgeon and get a Doppler scan to assess the blood circulation to your lower limb.
As of now, you can take analgesics like Ibuprofen or Tramadol for pain relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
