Pain in legs and burning in feet.
Hello,
for several years now, I have been experiencing steadily increasing pain in my legs every day. The situation is as follows in detail:
Feet:
My feet burn constantly - in addition, they are very cold in winter and very hot in summer. In the summer, I cool them down in the evening with some ice packs so I can sleep - but it only helps moderately. In winter, I usually have an extra blanket just for my feet to make sure they get enough warmth so I can fall asleep. The burning sensation is always there.
Legs:
The pain starts from the knee and feels like body aches when you are sick; only I have them all the time.
Knees:
The knee problems come and go - so they are not always there. My knees can only be bent for a few minutes up to a maximum of 15, then I get additional pain in my knees. It is very difficult when driving a car, often I have to stretch out my right leg, which is more bent due to operating the gas pedal, for a few minutes to make it work again (which makes driving a bit complicated).
The worst part is the burning in the feet accompanied by the leg pain - over time, you just become bad-tempered, sluggish, and don't want to move anymore. I tried to solve the problem on my own with (initially) ibuprofen and later tramadol, which worked somewhat - however, I believe that this cannot and should not be a permanent solution. In your opinion, what is the cause and what can be done about it?
