Hi,

I have been suffering with burning/pain and weakness of the back of my legs for months now. It goes from the butt all the way to the achilles tendons and down to the heels.

I can't exercise anymore. It is so uncomfortable that i am having problems sleeping.

This morning i took my dog for a walk and as soon as I started walking, the burning got worse and my whole legs started feeling very tight. I am losing leg strength as well.

Can nyone help, please? I went to see a doctor and she told me to rest. It is getting worse.

thank you!

Hi I think you should go to

Hi

I think you should go to another Doctor! It sounds possibly Sciatic related. If you have no back pain as such it may be related to the muscles in your butt such as piriformis tightening up and impinging on the sciatic nerve.
