Leg pain at 72
My mother, who is 72 years old, is experiencing "stretching pain" in her legs. The pain is primarily in her upper thighs and calves. She feels little to no pain while sitting, and she experiences no pain while sleeping at night or in the afternoon. The pain is most noticeable while standing and cooking. Additionally, she feels a sense of heaviness and pain in the morning when she is physically active, and she also experiences pain in her waist. Her sugar levels are high, and she takes medication for it daily, as well as for her cholesterol, blood pressure, constipation, and asthma. During her evening walk on the terrace, she feels a slight imbalance, but she can still walk. She notices that the unbalance feeling disappears when she walks with support. However, there is no pain during the evening walk, as mentioned previously. At night she put on the air conditioner. Is AC the cause of her pain or something else ?
