What Causes Leg Pain?
Leg pain can occur anywhere, and whether it is calf pain, foot, ankle, thigh, or somewhere else, it can seriously affect your day-to-day life. Pain can be present in both legs, or just one, and can be a result of different conditions that affect bones, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, blood vessels, nerves or the skin.
Some people wake up with leg pain, while for others it is a result of an injury that occurred during a sports’ game or through an accident. Shin splints, for example, are one type of leg pain that is caused through excessive exercise.
The growing pain may come with other symptoms such as weakness, numbness, throbbing, leg cramps and aches, and it is important to get it checked out as soon as possible to prevent it from getting worse.
