Achy legs at night? Anyone else?
« on: October 31, 2012, 05:13:40 pm »
Hi all, I'm trad so using ladders, and for as long as I can remember every now and then my legs ache a lot in the evenings, it's a really deep ache, it usually effects my right leg more so then left.

Please don't say 'go wfp' - that's not the point... I'd just like to know if anyone else experiences it, it isn't like the aches you get from a gym work out, it's more of a deep ache all through my legs, I wondered if it was something to do with straining my legs on the ladders somehow? It's very annoying!

I'm very well proportioned! I'm 5ft 8 and weigh 10 and a half stone, zero fat, just seems my right leg suffers the most, it's started aching now, finished work about 2pm, not sure why its happening...

Been window cleaning 5 years, it used to happen every now and then but this last year is getting more frequent,

Statins? No idea what that is....!

Ha ha, it's definitely not protein, was a gym addict for years and took many a protein shake! My diet is pretty good! And still work out, just not as obsessively!

Everyone is a psuedo doctor on here mate.

Your best bet is to go to the doctors. :P

Yeah true, we all have our own diagnosis, I just wanted to know if anyone else had it, and perhaps I'm straining my legs on the ladders somehow, I'm clueless!

I do go on tip toes a lot on the ladder... Especially when stretching... Could be repetitive strain, but tends to only hurt in the evenings, not so much at work, could be straining the muscles and that's causing aches.

Perhaps I'll try changing my foot position on the ladder...

Hi Danny, I've read about that before, but the symptoms don't fit mine...

what make of ladder have you?   some have thinner rungs so your foot tends to claw round to get a grip which is bad for you

Hi Jakey
Try drinking Tonic Water Fever Tree and Q Tonic it's got Quinine in.
Really good analgesic and good for night cramps.
