Actually, I think the best thing you could "try" is calcium, particularly from dairy sources.. If you are someone who is quite active, then you could have a bone out of place in your lower back causing the nerves that go into your legs to become impinged.. A chiropractor would be able to take care of that..Health Question & Answer
this is going to sound strange but get a bottle like the old 16oz.. soda pop bottle.. Sit in a dinning room type chair and put the bottle on the floor, put one foot on the bottle at a time, roll the bottle back & forth putting some pressure on it, only a couple minutes then the other foot.. by the time you are done with the second foot first leg pain should be gone..Health Question & Answer
