I get sharp and aching pain in my lower legs and tight calf muscles. Also vericose veins. It comes and goes. I used to drink a lot of coffee and take asprin. Here are a few things that help:
No caffeine or soda (Coke, Pepsi). Capsules of CoQ 10. Ted's lemon and baking soda remedy. An alkaline diet. Such as eating just peaches or oranges and spinache all day. No gluten (bread, pasta, cereal, soy sauce). Yogi brand Joint Tea. (also gets rid of headaches and fatigue) Good steeped with a teaspoon of crushed black peppercorns and drunk hot. The tea is cool mint flavored and the peppercorns are hot :) A glass of calcium fortified soy milk, a banana and a nap. [Curcumin supplement]. Maybe take a C and a B vitamin and some Milk Thistle with it.
