I've heard of "Truckers Knee" but I have pain in just one of my quads - Is this normal in trucking?

The trick to OTC pain meds is to mix them up and not use the same type for more than a few days before switching. I usually go between ibuprofen and Tylenol every other week when I need them. Or if the pain isn't really bad I won't take anything at all, maybe a beer or two. Yes, long term use of these drugs can do damage to some people. So far, I'm in the clear.BeHereNow97 Thanks this. -
I’m kinda strange. I don’t wear shoes while driving. I periodically curl my left leg and foot under my rump and sit on it for a while until it hurts. Then the left leg goes back down into normal position. I used to get swelling in my left foot before I did this during long drives. Now that swelling doesn’t happen anymore.

On the topic at hand, is it possible it could be something as simple as a pinched nerve? I tell my wife I'm a doctor, but I'm actually a truck driver. (kind of)

I also forgot to mention warm showers help it immensely, although that still doesn't help narrow down to what's causing it in the first place.God prefers Diesels Thanks this. -
