Although many of these pains are not caused by serious problems, if these pains are repeated continuously, they are annoying and we should seek treatment for it.
leg cramps
Muscle cramps are actually uncontrollable and painful contractions in the muscles, and the leg muscles are among the muscles that are most affected. In the affected muscles, you will feel that the muscles have become rigid and you may feel a lump in them. This problem may be caused by excessive use or low consumption of water, and usually the affected muscles are relieved by stretching. Leg cramps usually happen after exercise or while sleeping.
Muscle strains, tendonitis and shin splints
One of the common causes of leg pain is injuries to the muscles, such as muscle strain when the muscle fibers are torn. The muscles that are usually affected by these problems are the quadriceps, hamstrings and calves. Sports injuries are one of the most common causes of muscle injuries. Tendonitis is another common cause of leg pain that can affect the Achilles tendon (middle tibial tendon). Tendonitis causes pain in the leg or shin splint. Pain from compartment syndrome may increase with increased exercise, and the person may be forced to stop exercising. Stress fractures are small breaks (cracks) in the bone that are often caused by overuse. Pain from stress fractures usually worsens with exercise and decreases with rest.
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
Deep vein thrombosis occurs when a blood clot forms in one of the body's deep veins, often in the leg. In this case, the blood clot may reach the lung and cause a pulmonary embolism. DVT is a serious cause of leg pain that requires immediate medical attention. Symptoms of DVT include swelling, redness, inflammation, pain and warmth in the leg.
Varicose veins cause leg pain
Restless legs syndrome
Restless leg syndrome appears with a feeling of discomfort and a desire to move the legs. Other symptoms vary from person to person, but often include a feeling of pain in the legs that is usually worse at night.
Cellulite and leg pain
Cellulitis is a bacterial infection that usually affects the skin of the legs. This disease is a dangerous infection that requires immediate and quick treatment with antibiotics suitable for this infection. In this disease, the skin feels warm to the touch and may be swollen or hardened. If you have fever and chills, you should go to the emergency room immediately.
leg pain due to gout
Sciatica
Sciatica is one of the nerve pains that cause pain along the path of the sciatic nerve that extends down the leg. This pain is usually only seen in one leg at a time. The pain may feel like a tingling sensation. Sciatica is usually caused by the protrusion of the disc in the spine, which causes pressure on the sciatic nerve.
Nerve pains
Damage to the nerves of the foot or leg is one of the possible complications of diabetes, which is known as diabetic neuropathy. Diabetic neuropathy can cause tingling or burning and pain in the feet or legs, as well as numbness or sensitivity to touch in the affected areas.
Methods for diagnosing leg pain
There is no specific test to diagnose the causes of leg pain. Based on the type of pain you have and a physical exam, your doctor will decide whether you need imaging. The doctor asks questions that include:
- Constant or intermittent pain
- Does it occur suddenly?
- Which part of the foot hurts?
- What is the pain like? Is it a stabbing pain or a vague pain?
- Is it accompanied by a tingling sensation?
- Does pain occur with walking and exercise?
- Does it increase at night?
- Is it exacerbated by increasing physical activity?

Treatment of leg pain in women
Treatment of leg pain depends on their cause. Minor pain in the legs caused by sports injuries or overuse may not require medical treatment at all and can be treated at home. The Australian Center for Sports Medicine recommends the use of the RICER protocol, which includes rest, cold compresses, tight bandages, and elevation of the patient's leg. However, there are still differences of opinion regarding the use of cold compresses in soft tissue injuries. Over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen or NSAIDs may be helpful.
If leg pain is caused by vascular conditions such as circulation problems, your doctor may recommend lighter daily activities and medications to lower blood pressure or Cholesterol 230 also prescribed. Cramps in the leg muscles are usually solved by stretching.
