Hi lovely mommies, ladies.
Sharing here one most common problem accross all ages/generations.
Lower Leg Pain: Causes & Treatments
======
Generally speaking, the human leg is the whole lower limb, staring at the thigh and ending at the foot. However, the actual anatomical definition of the leg is the part that extends from the knee downward
The lower parts of your legs take the brunt of your day-to-day life. You shouldnβt have to be in pain, though.
Medical treatments can help if your doctor says you have a condition like leg cramps, blood clots, or issues with the nerves. But you can do things at home that help, too.
Bones, Joints & Muscles
----
Muscle cramp:
It can strike in your sleep or in the middle of the day. This sudden, tight, intense lower leg pain is sometimes called a "charley horse." When it takes a grip, it can get worse quickly. It happens when your muscles are tired or dehydrated. Drink more water if you're prone to leg cramps.
It might help to gently stretch or massage the area where your muscle has tensed up. Stretch your legs properly before you exercise, too.
Shin splints:
You can feel this pain right up the front of your calf. The muscles & flesh along the edge of the shin bone become inflamed, so it hurts to walk, run, or jump. Doing activity over & over on hard surfaces can bring this on. You may also be more likely to get shin splints if you have flat feet or your feet turn outward
Rest your legs to feel better. Ice helps. So can anti- inflammatory meds such as aspirin, ibuprofen & naproxen, if your doctor says these are safe for you.
You might want to see your doctor if the pain stays. Try not to do anything that makes your leg hurt more. Once it feels a little better, do some stretches. The next time out, wear comfortable, supportive shoes. And don't run on hard surfaces if possible.
