Normal for you...: Everybodys' body is different; if this is what normally occurs when you get sick(and you have no other health issues) then i would not look into it further; just accept this as part of "you".

Question 7

i am cold all the time and my legs hurt all the time?

Accepted Answer

Need to be seen: Cold intolerance raises the serious possibility of hypothyroidism, which only a physician can diagnose.  A second possibility is mild congestive heart failure, with too little blood reading the skin.  Pain in the legs can be anything from a neuropathy to serious vascular disease (gangrene risk) to metabolic bone disease.

Question 8

my legs hurt constantly i rotate in bed because legs hurt so bad?

Accepted Answer

Neuropathy: It sounds like your suffering from a peripheral neuropathy.  This could be due to something as simple as a vitamin deficiency or as complicated as an immune neuropathy.  Most neuropathies are treatable, including the cost when it is immune mediated.  I agree that you need to see a neurologist to have the appropriate studies to determine the proper treatment.

Question 9

any reasons why my legs hurt when i lay down or sit for a long time?

Accepted Answer

Sciatica: Pain in the distribution as you suggested describes the pattern of the nerve that travels in the leg called the sciatic nerve.  The sciatic nerve is not the cause of the pain source, it is the result of an irritated nerve typically in the lumbar spine (low back) which are caused by herniated disks, spinal stenosis or degenerative disc disease requiring further evaluation by a spine specialist.
