Conclusion
There are many causes of lower leg pain, and there’s not a single prevention strategy that reduces the risk of all related problems at the same time. Instead, you should prevent lower leg pain depending on the type of physical activity you do and your risk factors.
If you feel recurrent or very severe lower leg pain, talk to your doctor as soon as possible to see what’s happening. Sometimes lower leg pain can be a dangerous problem, especially if you have a baseline cardiovascular condition.
Deep vein thrombosis is one of the most severe problems people can experience in their legs. It is particularly common in the elderly and can complicate with a pulmonary embolism and life-threatening edema. If you have had this problem in the past, you must follow your doctor’s instructions to the letter and keep an eye on your legs for signs and symptoms of this disease. Remember that sometimes deep vein thrombosis does not give out pain symptoms and is still a cause of morbidity and mortality in many countries.
