Leg pain: Any time something is described as bad pain there should be an evaluation.  See your family doc to start and he/she may refer you as needed

Question 2

had a stroke 7yrs ago' being getting pains on effect side (right) when sitting on the couch ' lower back 'leg and both knees pain. knees pain in the morning when i get up. lower pack and leg pain is constant.

Accepted Answer

Pains : It is unfortunate that you are going through this .As you know a stroke can affect muscle strength on one side of the body. When doing everyday tasks after a stroke the body compensates and muscle can strain and joints can get inflamed. This may be helped with physical therapy.

Question 3

so i'm still having leg pain i think is sciatica pain. when i'm sitting on floor and leaning against the wall with my legs bent toward my chest my lower back hurts so badly. like when is it going to get better?

Accepted Answer

: Not feasible to predict prognosis based upon the brief description, so  far.  First priority is to confirm sciatica, as other explanations for low back pain may need to be explored.  A physiatrist might be an excellent consultive source.  Imaging, and even an EMG, could be confirmatory.

Question 4

i get pain in my left buttock area as thigh when i stand up from sitting and have lower leg pain and sometimes foot pain doesn't bother me when walkin?

Accepted Answer

Sciatica: As you have described, my first diagnosis would be sciatic nerve irritation, or sciatica.  Many times this can be easily treated with physical therapy.  Go see your primary care physician for initial evaluation. That will determine if you need pt and even further evaluation with an mri.

Question 5

why am i experiencing leg pain when sitting on toilet?

Accepted Answer

Nerve compression: Although there are several possible causes, if the pain is in the back of the leg (and maybe even down the leg into the foot), it is possible that the sciatic nerveis getting compressed by the toilet seat in the region of your buttock.  See your doctor to rule out other causes.

Question 6

why do i experience leg pain after sitting for a short time?

Accepted Answer

Many possibilities: Leg pain that is the result of muscular strain, inflammation, or other types of injury is common when beginning use after being immobile. The muscles contract when they are at rest and often need to be stretched when beginning usage. However, many types of sciatica, nerve pain caused by compression within the spine, can also be worse in the seated position. Your doctor can identify the problem.

Question 7

what does it mean if you have leg pain when sitting on the floor?

Accepted Answer

Varies : It really varies a lot and there are a lot of possible causes.  It usually indicates that the position you are putting your leg in when you sit is uncomfortable.  This can be from an abnormality in your leg or in some cases it can be normal.  Don't hesitate to be seen for an exam.

Question 8

i only have leg pain when i'm laying down or sitting up what can be the cause of it.

Accepted Answer

Pinched nerve: Spine  malalignment can cause nerve pressure and pain.

Question 9
