My legs feel really weird?!
Question: I haven't done much exercise or anything the past weak. but my right ankle joint and like the foot itself and the lower leg feel sore. Its almost as if it feels old. Like the blood has been drained out of it and like I been running on it all day.
What is this? Just a sympton of an over exerted muscle? I am 22.

Maybe stetch it ahile the muscle is relaxed...use your hand to bring the foot towards you...could just be a build up of tension...
any other symptoms? discoloration, temperature change, numbness, pain in your calf or other part of your leg? With your eyes closed have a friend or family member lightly touch all the different areas of both lower legs and feet, and see if you can accurately tell them where they last touched you. If any of these symptoms are present head to the doctor, you may have decreased blood flow to the lower leg for whatever reason. Also you can feel for a pulse in the middle of the top of your foot an inch or two below your ankle. Don't use the thumb to feel for pulse, you will just feel the pulse of your thumb. How long has this sensation been present? If more than a day I would go to the ER or if your MD has an open appt go there. I am not a doctor, just provide therapy in a rehab unit, and have to do sensation checks on a daily basis. If they do not feel a strong pulse they can do a test called a doppler (basically an ultrasound of the arteries of your leg) to see if there is an occlusion. Take care of yourself.
