Injuries can also cause leg pain. You might get injured falling down, getting into a car accident, playing sports, or suffering a workplace injury.
Many vein disorders and diseases can cause leg pain—your risk of developing vascular problems increases if you have a family history of vein problems. Your risk also rises if you sit or stand too much, are obese, eat a poor diet, don’t exercise much, smoke, or suffer from a chronic disease.
To find out what’s causing your leg pain, Mission Surgical Clinic providers discuss your symptoms and medical history. They measure your blood pressure, check your other vital signs, and complete a physical exam. During the exam, they pay close attention to your legs, ankles, and feet, looking for symptoms of diseased veins and ulcers (open wounds).
Your provider could order blood tests, angiography, an ultrasound, or another imaging procedure to find the root cause of your leg pain and develop a treatment plan.
Treatments for leg pain include:
Maintain a healthy weight, eat healthily, get regular exercise, and don’t smoke to reduce the risk of leg pain associated with vein problems. Avoid sitting or standing for extended periods.
Compression stockings can reduce swelling, improve blood flow, and relieve leg pain caused by vascular problems.
Taking prescribed medications can reduce leg pain and its underlying cause.
Missions Surgical Clinic specialists offer wound care, including debridement, specialized bandages and dressings, topical medications, and grafting procedures to treat open wounds and improve healing.
