Leg Pain Symptoms

The variations of leg pain are numerous and often hard to describe accurately. Consider seeking an examination if you are dealing with:

• Chronic or reoccurring pain in the entire leg
• Pain that radiates down from the pain or hip
• Numbness in the entire leg or foot
• Burning sensations in the foot, calves, or knees
• Snapping and popping in the knee or hip joint
• Weakness and feelings of fatigue in the lower half of the body
• Cramps in the muscles of the leg
• Reduced sensation, which can interfere with your balance
• Swelling in one or both legs

Cause of Leg Pain
Recent trauma or childhood illnesses can lead to leg pain in practically any patient. If your pain is changing your life, it may be linked to issues like:
Muscle strains, scar tissue, or atrophy
Inflammation in the tendons
Overuse due to intense athletic training or exercise after a period of inactivity
Nerve damage in the leg or spine
Side effects from a wide range of medications
Varicose veins
Sciatica
Stress fractures in the bones
Bone and soft tissue infections
Neuropathy due to diabetes or other chronic illnesses
Blood clots and artery issues

Leg Pain Risks

Most athletes and retail employees find that minor leg pain resolves itself after a day of rest and stay off of the feet. However, ignoring intermittent or mild pain could put you at risk for:

• Lower extremity peripheral arterial disease
• Severe stenosis and sciatica
• Loss of control of the legs or feet
• Permanent numbness
• Fractures that heal extremely slowly
• Chronic tendonitis
• Injuries to your Achilles heel
• Blood clots
