Why has my left leg been aching for two months, especially when I stand up after sitting on a sofa, and could this be a nerve issue rather than a muscle tightness, since medications like Combiflam and diclofenac have not worked?
Since common pain relievers like Combiflam and diclofenac haven't provided relief, it is very possible that this stems from nerve irritation, such as the sciatic nerve, rather than simple muscle tightness. Sitting on soft sofas can compress nerves or strain your lower back, triggering pain when you stand. I highly recommend speaking with a doctor or physical therapist. They can perform simple physical tests to locate the exact source of your discomfort and guide you toward targeted treatments or gentle exercises to help you feel better soon.
