There could be some inflammation.  Do you practice any high impact sports?  If you jog or stand on your feet all day it could aggravate your knees.  Something else you may want to check is your back.  If you have back problems this can sometime affect your knees as well.  If you stand for long periods of time I would suggest getting a cushioned rubber mat to stand on.  If you exercise you may want to tone it down a little and do things that aren't as stressful on your knees and legs, try walking instead of running.  If the pain continues, definitely pay the Dr. a visit.

Sounds like you may have injured the sciatic nerve that runs from your buttocks to your heal.  Only rest and cortisone shots will help

I get that all the time. I have a bunch of old injuries from being young and not thinking I would live this long.\n\nThat is usually a pinched nerve. Most likely a shoulder or upper vertabrea.\n\nUnless you have a really bad rotator cup like me it will prolly go away.\nBe aware this gets worse as you age.

maybe you should go to a doctor because its not normal to have this kind of pain for 6 days in a row,, i had a lesion on both knees, and whenever i exercise too much or something, I end up having this kins of pains but for 3 day or so,, maybe the best is to go to a doctor

I had the same problem when I was a bit heavier in the belly area.  It sounds like you are pretty active though, not sure if it applies to you or not.  When I lost a bit of the belly weight the back pain with walking stopped.

You're a strong 70 year old! Now your suspicion might be correct but it's best you see a professional or have a Physical therapist visit you at home.

its arthritus, you can try glucosamine and chondroiton, and aleive for some pain help and ask your doctor for something like mobic, thats the anti inflamitory im on, it doesnt really stop the pain but it helps some, also lose weight. thats a biggie, next step is joint replacement. its old age hon.

Here is a website, if you look on the top, you will see a 'what hurts' box, and you can go from there. Hope it gets better fast!\nhttp://www.jointhealing.com/index.html

Depends on...\n\n1)   What is aching? \nIs it the bone in the front of your leg hurting?\nAre your calves (the muscles at the back) hurting?\netc.\n\n2)   and What kind of "pain" is it?\nIs it sharp constant pain or a sharp pain when you do something?\nIs it a dull constant pain?\nDo you get it when you stand or walk or run or is it on all the time?\n\n\nWithout specifics, as requested above, understanding or speculating the possible cause of the pain would be a wild guess.\nIt could be pretty much anything - from a damaged ligament, bone and muscle tear from something you did to just a muscle catch or potassium deficiency solvable buy resting and eating foods with more potassium (e.g. bananas).\n\nI would recommend you try and post more specifics or do some research on www.webmd.com or see a General Physician who can provide you more input based on specifics that you give him

it sounds like you have sciatica ( pain in the butt-or feel like your hips are bad?) You will need to do low impact exercise for your lower back muscles so it is not so easy to strain them. Water aerobics or light swimming helps

I don't know...but I have had that situation several times. Normally from doing some different activity. For instance, when I moved at work I thought it would be a good idea (fitness wise) to use the steps more, visiting my friends four floors up. Well, I must have done that 5 times that day, walking up and down the stairs which I had not been doing.\n\nThe next two days my thighs and calves tightened up, hurt like all get out. So maybe this kind of activity started your pains.

This could be an ileopsoas muscle strain or, as you suspect, a bursitis.  And the pain can indeed come and go.  It is possible for it to become a chronic condition when not rested /treated appropriately.\n\nBut! laying on a mattress, however 'terrible', is not likely to cause this injury.  (Though it may aggravate it, so wrecking your quality of sleep and rest....).\n\nIt takes time for a bursitis to form - and it is not at all unusual for \none to develop weeks, even months,after the original injury.\n(Which is why it sometimes seems to come 'out of the blue')\n It is a common sports injury, but may also be connected to excessive weight-bearing. or other forms of trauma.  (I see from a previous answer that you are just 27 yrs old...? sports injury)...\n\nPrimary care doctors are not good at diagnosing these kinds of problems - indeed they don't really want to, since the diagnostic tests involved are expensive (CT and MRI imaging) - and, when all is said and done, none of their patients ever die of pain!!\n\nMoreover,while patients are waiting for those tests, the problem frequently resolves itself.  \n\nTreatment is image-guided deep injection of steroids,but the success rate for this is only 50-60%.  (Surgery for very extreme cases).\n\nAn alternative diagnosis might actually be spinal problems - a herniated disk in particular - which can cause 'referred' pain to the hip and other structures.  However I would be willing to bet money that you have a bursitis - primarily because you identify the pelvic bone as a major pain site. (The ileopsoas muscle attaches to the pelvis).\n\nIn this condition, you are likely to feel OK when mobilising - but experience pain when you sit/ lay in a 'fixed' position.  You may also experience pain on internal rotation of the leg on the affected side.\n\nYou need 'Brufen' (Ibruprofen) for pain relief and as an anti-inflammatory.  And you need to rest for a bit with only gentle exercise.  \n\nIf you have a continued experience of pain - over several months - you will need to seek a definitive MRI scan of the pelvis - primarily to exclude spinal radiculopathy (nerve root involvement) and lumbar disk problems. But lets hope you won't need one and that it is a minor problem.  Its a 'wait and see', really.\n\nI really hope this helps you. Good luck.

Go to your doctor and have them take a look at it, two years is a long time for a nagging injury to be around.  you definitely need to have someone check it out, and maybe end up going to physical therapy to strengthen your core.
