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.
