What's wrong with one leg being sore

Many diseases have different symptoms, and some diseases may cause pain in other parts of the body, causing people to misjudge their illness. Some people have pain in only one leg while the other leg is fine, while some people have pain in both the waist and legs. Below I will explain to you what causes leg pain and how to relieve leg pain. You can learn it.

There are many causes of calf pain, including poor local circulation, peripheral vascular disease or varicose veins in the feet. The ambient temperature changes suddenly. Inadequate amounts of minerals (such as magnesium and calcium) in the diet. The incidence of certain chronic diseases and pregnant women will also increase. Hypothyroidism, uremia, or other medical illnesses. Motor neurone disease, radiculopathy, or peripheral neuropathy. Some blood pressure and lipid-lowering drugs can also cause symptoms.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that calf fatigue and soreness are mostly related to qi deficiency. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it may be caused by external factors such as wind, cold, and dampness, or by internal factors such as excessive anger, thinking, and fear, or by neither external nor internal factors such as excessive sexual intercourse, which damages the kidney's essence and qi, external injuries to the tendons and bones, and eating damp or cold foods that damage the spleen.

Long-term pain will not only aggravate the disease, but also cause mental distress, easily leading to depression, temperament, and personality changes. It will also cause dysfunction of the human nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, digestive, respiratory and other systems, leading to other complications, with serious consequences. The greatest harm caused by pain is not death, but a reduction in the quality of life. Although pain will not kill people, many people voluntarily give up their lives because of pain.
