When I sit on my legs and feet in the floor, I don't feel anything hurt or anything like that. But when I get up and try to straighten my legs out it hurts bad and I can barely straighten them out at first!!!! What do you guys think is the problem? Circulation or what? What can I do to remedy this?
what is holding you back from straightening, joints, tendons, muscles?
?...good questionQuote:

ARTHRITIS MAYBE
I guess that could be a possibility. Is there anything that I should do? Or could it be something else? I know you guys aren't doctors, I just thought some of you make have experienced the same thing.
go to the doctor bro.
Sometimes not taking in enough water can have adverse affects on several body parts including tendons, ligaments and muscles. Its not to the point of dehydration however, as everyone is different, could be affecting you.
I take liquid glucosamine with msn to help in all joint areas. possibly try that
That could be the problem. I have gotten out fo drinking much water for a while now. I will try that first and maybe look into some joint supps or something. I bet its my water intake though.Quote:

dude i get the same thing i have always just attributed it to having to much weight sitting on my legs but i know what you mean. i just stretch it out and then go on about my day i have had this problem for as long as i can remember and im not that old

I was just curious. I am 30 and have always been active so I don't figure I should be having these things going on because of age.
