Leg pain is very common. While leg pain is uncomfortable, most leg pain is not a medical emergency. Sometimes simple lifestyle changes and self-care can solve the problem. However, some leg conditions are more serious and may require prompt professional care.

If you have leg pain, your doctor, chiropractor, podiatrist or other health professional is likely to ask you a lot of questions. Is your pain dull or sharp? Did you injure yourself or did the pain seem to start without a cause? Does the pain change at certain times, such as when you are in bed? When are the symptoms worse? Does changing positions make it better or worse? Are legs and ankles swelling? Is your pain in a certain location, such as your shins, joints or hip? Do you have other medical problems? Have you been repeating the same motion, like running or lifting?

Your care provider can help you determine the cause of leg pain.

Oscar-winning actress and philanthropist Jane Wyman died Monday at her home in Palm Springs, Calif., her business manager said. She was 90. She was once married to actor Ronald Reagan, who went on to become U.S. president. Wyman won an Oscar and a Golden Globe for her portrayal of a deaf-mute rape victim in the 1948 film, "Johnny Belinda." She also starred for nine years on 1980s classic, "Falcon Crest." She had been in failing health for several years. "I have lost a loving mother, my children Cameron and Ashley have lost a loving grandmother, my wife Colleen has lost a loving friend she called Mom and Hollywood has lost the classiest lady to ever grace the silver screen," her son, Michael Reagan, said in a statement. Wyman was also known for her work with the Arthritis Foundation and Catholic church and was a strong supporter of Hollywood's Covenant House and Our Lady of the Angels Monastery.
