Hi everyone,

If you found this, its because you are in the same boat as me. I have been experiencing a deep leg aches for years. I am now 28, but have been experiencing this type of ache since I was child. My mum was told it was "growing pains", but at the age of 28 I don't have anymore growing left to do. 

Other forums and chats have expressed concern over the aches due to age and frequency. For a little context, I have been complaining about a deep rooted ache in my bones mostly in my right leg on a weekly basis. I constantly say "if I could just remove my knee cap, I feel like the ache would go away". The only relief is pressure, or a message on the area. 

I'm not the most active, I walk to work, walk on the weekends with family but I don't exert myself. The pain normally comes on in the evening, when sitting on the couch! Last night, the ache became so unbareable that I cried for the first time; my leg felt stiff and I was unable to walk. My husband has forced me to call my GP, which to be fair I should have done years ago but my mind set has been "growing pains". I am waiting for a call back today! I suspect, possiblt arthiris because it runs in my family. My aunt, my mum were all diagnosed at a young age.

If anyone has experienced the same, please reach out because its nervewrecking!
