Have you consulted a doctor about this and what did they say?

People will forget what you said

I posted something along those lines. I noticed that I have very painful legs when I feel particuarly anxious and it was suggested that it was due to tensing my leg muscles through stress, I think that's probably what it is for me. Could that be the case for you too?

I have sciatica which gives me pain down the front and backs of my legs and am waiting for physio at the mo.
