Pulmonary Fibrosis |
Leg pain02/09/2009 |
I have about 47% lung capacity, I sleep with oxgen. I use O2 when I walk about one hour a day for exercise with no leg pain, but if I stand around (shopping) for a long period of time my calves ache. Would this be caused by low O2 in the body? Thanks
Symptoms of low oxygen will usually be worse when a person is exercising and so disappearance of the symptoms when walking would make it unlikely that low oxygen is causing the leg pain. Ask you doctor whether spinal stenosis is a possibility.
