Conclusion
Lower leg pain is similar to other types of leg pain in many aspects. There are two main types of lower leg pain, shin pain, and calf pain. However, home treatment recommendations are almost the same in both cases.
Depending on the cause of lower leg pain, one recommendation will work over the other. And they may change entirely according to each case. For instance, you may need complete and strict rest if you have a ligament tear or a fracture. But if your problem is swelling and poor circulation, it would be recommended to work out your lower leg with some light exercises to improve blood circulation and strengthen your musculoskeletal system.
If you have doubts about which home treatment modality works best for you and if you have severe or recurring symptoms, we recommend talking to your doctor about it and looking for a lasting solution to your lower leg pain issues.
