The common causes of leg pain include excessive fatigue of the lower limbs, trauma to the lower limbs, peripheral neuropathy, vascular lesions of the lower limbs, and so on. The specific causes are as follows:
1. Excessive fatigue of the lower limbs: this is the most common. If the patient stands for a long time, walks for a long distance or uses the lower limbs for excessive exercise, it will make him/her have excessive fatigue of the lower limbs. After that, the patient will have the symptom of leg pain. And this situation will often be significantly relieved after the patient rests for 2~3 days.
2. Lower extremity trauma: this type of patient is often due to the lower extremity of the strenuous activities, or by the fall, or the lower extremity by the direct violence of the blow, and then the lower extremity of the trauma. For example, there are common lower extremity muscle strains, soft tissue contusions, fractures, dislocations and so on. This will lead to the symptoms of leg pain.
3. Peripheral neuropathy: some patients in the lumbar vertebral body slippage or lumbar spinal stenosis, a kind of peripheral neuropathy, will produce on the relevant nerve root compression, and then make the patient appear lower limb pain symptoms.
4. Lower extremity vascular lesions: some patients may suffer from poor blood circulation in the lower extremities when they develop lower extremity vascular lesions such as deep vein thrombosis or occlusive atherosclerosis. This will cause patients to experience pain and coldness in the lower limbs.
Patients are advised to go to the orthopedic department in time if the above conditions cannot be relieved after rest.
