Conclusion
In most cases, medical treatment for lower leg pain includes conservative measures such as the RICE method, NSAIDs, and physical therapy. Most measures are equal for all patients with lower leg pain, but some are specific for calf pain, and others are specific for shin pain. Still, others are specific for pathologies, such as Achilles tendon tears and chronic exertional compartment syndrome.
Thus, it is essential to obtain a diagnosis before starting any treatment. Sometimes we think that lower leg pain is unimportant, but if your symptoms are beginning to give you trouble or make you nervous, do not hesitate to talk to your doctor about it. That’s the best course of action and will reduce the chance of complications with more severe conditions such as pulmonary embolism, which happens when you don’t treat deep vein thrombosis in your legs.
