A member asked:
I have lower back pain and calf pain in both legs. i have been doing cardio and elliptical machine. what do you think can be causing pain in legs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sore muscles: Or pinched nerve maybe from disc in lower back pressing on them. Lay flat, if someone massages your calf when you lay flat causes you pain: it's likely sore muscles. Still laying flat, stretching the nerve by flexing one leg, (other leg remaining flat) towards sky: pain from back down the leg is pinched nerve.
