What Can Cause Leg Aches?

There can be many causes of achy legs, such as muscle cramps after a long day, injury requiring wound care, and recent surgery issues. We will discuss these issues and what you can do to help heal your legs and live a healthier, pain-free lifestyle in Fuquay Varina, NC .

Listed below are some of the more common reasons for achy legs.

  • Overuse: After a long day on your feet, your legs can ache from overworking when you finally take the pressure off them.
  • Muscle cramps: This symptom can go hand in hand with overuse. The two major causes can be dehydration from not getting enough fluids in your body after overexertion, and certain medications can cause cramping.
  • Injuries: Shin splints, sprains, fractures, tendonitis, and plantar fasciitis. For injuries, we offer mobile in-home care, including state-of-the-art biological wound care practices.
  • Nerve issues: These can be short-term or long-term, such as nerve damage from an injury or a pinched nerve because you slept wrong.
  • Blood Issues: A disorder such as Deep Vein Thrombosis can cause aching up and down your leg that never truly goes away until the issue is treated.
  • Restless Leg Syndrome: At the end of the day, when you are in bed, your legs can twitch, and you may need to move them constantly.
