Rest and Time off Activities
Overuse injuries are among the top causes of lower leg pain. Thus, one of the most effective home treatments is to stop doing whatever triggers your symptoms. Rest is essential because it gives the body a chance to heal itself, but there are times when you must continue with some activity, especially if you have circulation problems and stagnant blood in your lower legs. In such cases, alternating exercise with rest periods will probably work much better.
When performing any physical activity, try to avoid overdoing it. For instance, if you are participating in a marathon, don’t do more than your body can handle. Do not try to push yourself past your limits. If you feel pain, stop immediately. It is better to be safe than sorry.
