What's wrong with my waist aching and my legs feeling sore and weak?

Physical and mental fatigue can cause big problems in people's lives, and they must go to the hospital for proper examination and treatment. Back pain, leg soreness, and general lack of strength are problems often encountered by many middle-aged and elderly people. It is not ruled out that the problem may be due to recent poor rest, overwork, high blood pressure, high blood lipids, and calcium deficiency, which require special examination.

Mental and physical fatigue:

The lives of the elderly are not always comfortable and leisurely. Those who are affected by emotions and overworked will suffer from mental and physical fatigue, and experience symptoms such as headaches, back pain, pain and weakness in the limbs, lack of energy, insomnia, and loss of appetite. Among them, back pain and leg pain are more obvious. This is because when you are tired, your muscles are in a tense state for too long, which speeds up your metabolism and increases the concentration of the metabolites carbon dioxide and lactic acid in the blood. This requires regulating emotions and reducing labor in order to eliminate symptoms including back pain and leg pain. Calcium supplementation alone will not be effective.

Damage and cold: As the elderly’s physical condition declines, they are unable to resist the invasion of wind, cold and dampness, so they often suffer from back pain and leg pain due to damage to dampness and cold. Moreover, this kind of back pain and leg pain caused by dampness and cold is difficult to cure with just the drugs for removing dampness and cold. It is also necessary to add drugs for invigorating qi and activating blood circulation or strengthening the waist and kidneys according to the condition, in order to achieve better therapeutic effects. Of course, calcium supplementation is unlikely to be effective. Because calcium supplementation cannot cure all diseases.

Chronic infection: Old people suffer from many diseases, among which chronic infectious diseases are more common. Such as chronic bronchitis, chronic enteritis, chronic cholecystitis, etc. These chronic inflammations are often difficult to cure. When the nervous and circulatory systems are dysfunctional, they can also cause back pain, leg pain, and general discomfort. For the back and leg pain in this situation, calcium supplementation alone will not be effective. Still, symptomatic treatment should be given according to the condition, and in particular, new anti-infective drugs that have not yet developed drug resistance should be used to achieve effective results. Once the infection is under control, back pain, leg pain and various symptoms will naturally improve.
