My legs ACHE when lying to the point that I must sleep sitting up. Pain relieved by sitting/walkin
This came on rather suddenly and is not due to exercise.  Both my lower back and legs ache when I lie down.  It is not a muscle cramp, or sore -- it's a constant ache.  It is relieved by sitting and walking, but returns when I lie down.  I am a 67 year-old male and am taking no medications. mexikidcrap

What kind of rash starts as a "misquito bite" size then itches alot and turns red & scaly?
It started on my legs.  I had about 3 areas on each leg for about 6 months.  They never go away but for short periods they get better and then start up again.  In the last couple of days they have started on my 1 hand, my arms, and my neck.  grndmasucrap
