let’s talk about the 11 potential causes

of achy legs now it could be in one leg

or the other leg or both legs so number

one you have this condition called

claudication as an intermittent

claudication instrument it means it

comes and goes it has to do with pain or

achiness upon exertion so let’s say for

example you climb up the stairs or

you’re starting exercising or you start

to exercise and your legs get really

painful or achy what’s happening is

there’s some type of obstruction in the

vascular system and your lower legs it

could be a thorough sclerotic plaquing

but the bottom line is you’re running

out of oxygen to the lower extremity one

essential thing to do about that is to

get in a low carbohydrate diet also in a

minute fasting is going to be beneficial

and then start getting on an exercise

program that is very very light but it’s

consistent every day and you do that

gradually over a period of time you’re

slowly increasing it because when you do

that you’re going to increase the growth

of more blood vessels to the area number

two sciatica

now the silac nerve is the longest nerve

in the body it’s about the width of my

thumb and it originates from the lumbar

vertebra and it’s form it forms this big

nerve that goes in the back part of the

buttocks down to the back of the leg so

you could either have a pinch in your

lower back from I don’t know a disc

protrusion or something or you could

have a pinch in the location of the

buttocks by a muscle called the

piriformis if it’s in spasm it could

pinch that nerve and you can experience

achiness in the lower part leg but

realize this the static nerve is in the

back part of leg not on the side of the

leg if you have a kena sore pain on the

side that could be another nerve but

it’s not the site of nerve for pretty

much all of these I put videos down

below to tell you what to do about them

for this one you want to make sure that

you want to work on the curve in the

lower back to create that more space in

the nerve roots okay number three

restless leg syndrome and I have a video

on this specifically but this is a

buildup of lactic acid in

muscles in your lower leg because you’re

low in vitamin b1 okay and if you’re

deficient in this because you’re doing

too many carbohydrates you’re not going

to be able to get rid of lactic acid so

you’re gonna have a condition called

lactic acidosis so it’s more acidic than

it should be and the muscles are gonna

feel very restless I had this for many

years I didn’t know what it was I would

be getting up in the middle of night

going for a jog in the middle of the

night to try to get this energy out of

my legs it just I could not relax very

simply I wish I would have known this b1

nutritional yeast gets rid of it like

that and of course cutting out the carbs

I was doing a lot of carbs back then

okay number four virus is like an

Epstein bar virus can come in and out of

remission over the years depending on

your stress level and what activates it

and that can create various symptoms

fatigue achiness in the muscle or

swollen lymph nodes okay number five low

vitamin D why because vitamin D is one

of the most powerful anti-inflammatories

so if you’re low in vitamin E you’re

gonna have more inflammation especially

in the lower back but it can be anywhere

in the body and it can also show up as a

keenest not just pain number six if you

have a pinched nerve in your back

somewhere that can refer not just pain

in the lower part of your legs but

achiness as well number seven

electrolyte imbalances so if you’re

deficient in potassium or sodium or

magnesium or even calcium that could be

enough to create not just a cramp but an

achiness in the calf or your foot or

your buttocks muscle as well it could be

any anywhere in the body number eight

old injuries let’s say for example you

fill in your tailbone okay you Jam the

tailbone or you fell on the knee or you

sprained an ankle or you stub to toe

that can alter the biomechanics

and cause you to walk a little bit out

of balance and over the years that is

gonna create wear and tear on certain

joints especially the knee joint and and

then it causes one muscle to tighten up

and the other one who’s going to be too

loose and create imbalances asymmetries

that can cause a keenest pain and

arthritis I have videos on what to do

for old injuries especially if you fell

on your tailbone or you sprained an

ankle or you have knee pain so I put

those down below number nine deep vein

thrombosis this is a situation where you

have a clot in the deeper veins of the

legs and that’s obstructing blood flow

now I talked about the clot right here

okay but if you have a clot called a

thrombus that’s in your deep veins

that’s gonna create a lot of achiness

swelling one of your legs could be extra

warm and you can have alteration in the

color of the leg because it’s affecting

the circulation number 10 varicose veins

or spider veins that is a problem with

the superficial veins in your legs which

could definitely create achiness okay so

both of these can create a cleanness and

then we have diabetes diabetes is a high

blood sugar situation not only will it

deplete mountain b1 but it will also

create oxidation in the inside of the

artery and the capillaries the small

blood vessels that feed the nerves so

you can have a keenest from the muscle

aspect because the muscle is not getting

oxygen but also a heinous from the

neurological damage that occurs from

having diabetes and I put videos on each

one of these down below so you can check

it out and there you have it 11 causes
