Leg pain is a common complaint from patients. Leg pain can range from stabbing pain to burning pain. There are a variety of reasons why a person may be experiencing pain in their leg — from muscle strains to injury and pinpointing an exact cause of your leg pain can be tricky. Common causes of leg pain include:

• Muscle cramps
• Shin Splints
• Muscle Strain
• Muscle Tear
• Tendonitis
• Fracture

Why Does My Leg Hurt?

Most leg pain is a result of overuse or injury. Typically for a mild muscle strain, all you need to help control pain and swelling is rest, ice, and over-the-counter pain relievers. If your pain is severe and you’re unable to walk, you may have a serious injury.

Why Does My Leg Cramp?

If you’re experiencing leg cramps, you may have strained a muscle or overused a muscle. Other common reasons for leg cramping include dehydration or holding a position for a prolonged period of time.
