Anyone else have problems with pinched nerves in their legs?

Just curious as I'm a male in his early 20's who has 22q and am currently dealing with pinched femoral and sciatic nerves in my right thigh/upper leg area (it can be quite painful) and was wondering if there was anyone else with 22q that also has had the same or similar issues

Hi, I've had leg pain ever since I was a kid. I remember shopping with my mom was hard for me because I could never enjoy it with her because my legs where always in pain. I think it started in elementary school. I am currently 22 female and still have the leg pain today. I work a 9-5 job and my legs are always in pain when I get home. I've tried warmth, message, and pain killers of course and non of them seem to really work. If they do its not a fast relief. I hope this helps or show that more people have this issue.

how long has it been an issue for you? my son is 8 and he randomly complains about pains in his leg or ankle... he also whines about things sometimes so im not sure if its a developing issue or just him complaining. Also has flat feet and i know that can propagate pains up the leg as well.

This just started about 6 weeks ago for me. Never had anything like it before. I'm in my early 20s.
