On the point of jacking in driving as I find I’m almost incapable of walking after prolonged spells behind the wheel - anything over 1hr30 I start to feel discomfort in my thighs, 3hrs and it starts to get painful, moving my legs and raising myself off the seat bring only temporary relief.When I exit the cab my joints are stiff and I have pain (like toothache) in my leg joints, and it takes a while to loosen off.
If I could take breaks to suit myself I could manage with 15s & 30s but breaks have to taken at depots/hubs so some stints are close to the max 4hrs 30.Puzzling thing is that otherwise I don’t have a problem with walking and regularly cover a brisk couple of miles with my dog at least once a day. Pretty sure its not DVT or Arthritis.
I suppose what I’m trying to ask in a roundabout way is does/has anyone else had this?
Do you wear flat soles or slight heels ? For me it makes all the difference ,I get leg pain if I wear boots that are too high at the back and often this small difference is not to do with adjusting the seat hight ,it’s the angle of my ankles which gives me thigh pain .
Do they do Stiletto’s in steel toe cap?
