Leg stiffness.
|
|
I am really suffering from stiff legs this year and its starting to piss me off.
I'm 47 and in reasonable health and I play cricket at the weekends but for 2 or 3 days afterwards I can barely walk due to leg stiffness, this has only started this year and I can't understand why as I have always been able to play 2-3 games a week without a twinge.
Are there any supplements I can take or do any of you WHOers have some advice that might ease my woes before the football season starts?
Yes I know I'm getting old but its such a sudden decline!!!!

Have you thought of making an appointment to see a doctor by any chance?

Not to worry you but a friend of mine was complaining about the same and got diagnosed with MND. So whilst of course, I am sure it's just proper old age, you should always get these things checked out.

I don't want to worry you but the symptoms you describe are entirely congruent with (bad) aids.

Are you stretching before and after the cricket?
Supplement wise id imagine this is worth a try http://www.onnit.com/stron-bone/
Have heard good things about it and used some of onnits other supplements myself, great company and the least snake-oily with what they are selling.
Doing a leg workout midweek in the gym prob wouldnt hurt either.

I don't have MND sympotoms, I just googled it.
So bad AIDS it is then.

As Scully says, you need to spend a bit more time warming up, stretching before AND warm down and stretch after.
If it's Cricket, you can go it during too.

Yeah much better asking on here stoneman.... not sure the NHS would know what to say if you went to A&E with leg stiffness...

I really don't want to worry you but stiff legs (apart from middle leg stiffness) is a medical problem especially if it comes on quickly. It could be Fibromyalgia, Myotonic Dystrophy, Peripheral artery disease, Lupus or MS amongst others.
Go and see the doctor and not Dr WHO as Coffee says...

Magnesium supplements or spray works well for me.
Have a bath in Epsom salts too.
