My boy friend has pain in his legs everytime he plays soccer what could be wrong?

Question

Every time my boy friend plays soccer he has this horrible pain in his legs. He saids it hurts so bad he can hardly walk hes had it for about 4 years and its only if he plays or runs. If he doesn't then hes fine. Could it be some sort of injury or something more serious? He also gets these horrible head aches all the time almost everyday. I don't know but maybe it has some sort of connection. Anyone can help?

Answer 1

I get the same thing. I was in a vehicle roll over in Afghanistan and ended up injuring my back and neck and got a brain injury. The thing that that hurts my legs is called Spinal stenosis. He should go to the doctor and get checked out for an mri. If he just lets it go then it could get a lot worse. It also may be an inflammation of his sciatic nerve

Answer 2

It may be a vitamin deficiency or lack of potassium. Make sure he drinks plenty of water. It could also be poor circulation. Suggest he see a Dr. to determine the cause.
