i am 14 years old 5'6"normal weight and i am in very good shape. i have been active my whole life and never had problems until 6th grade. i joined cross country and i had moderate pain in my legs it went away during exercise but got worse towards the end. i also played basketball and that was the same thing. then in 7th grade i ran cross country played basketball volleyball track soccer and softball. most were just clubs but its still exercise. in that time the got worse so that it hurt through all of my exercise and didnt go away until like a day after. then in 8th grade i ran cross country played basketball and joined the soccer team. by this time it was really bad and nothing was helping and it was hard to constantly run on them, and i also got asthma that ear. over the summer i joined two soccer teams and my legs were unbearable at that time but i still played. then i tried out for volleyball and i made varsity. i was on 2 soccer teams and volleyball. my legs got soo bad in that time that i ended up sitting out half of volleyball season.. and i injured my back and hips in that time. when i went back my legs just didnt get any better. nothing helped at this point. its still going on but i cant stop soccer. it sorta like a full feeling in my leg. and it gets numb at times too. its all puffy and swollen. its hurts at rest too and even walking bothers it. i dont know what is wrong. i also have a low range of motion in my anckles. its worse in my right leg though... any ideas what it could be... its been hurting for three years :/

Three and four sports at a time?  sounds like over-use.  Try cutting back on activity, you're still growing!
