What are the causes of leg pain?

1. Leg pain caused by inflammation

1.1. Inflammation: Inflammatory factors that cause leg pain include infectious inflammation of the bones, joints and soft tissues of the waist and legs caused by specific infectious sources.

1.2. Aseptic inflammation of soft tissue: Aseptic inflammation of soft tissue caused by trauma, strain, cold, dampness and muscle spasm, etc., the affected area is congested, edematous, exudated and has adhesion of fibrous tissue, thus leading to low back and leg pain.

1.3. Joint inflammation: Joint inflammation is also a major cause of leg pain, which includes rheumatoid arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. The symptoms of the former are manifested as varying locations of joint pain, while the symptoms of the latter are mostly manifested as stiffness and inflexibility of leg movements.

2. Varicose veins cause leg pain

2.1. Incorrect posture. According to a survey, 10% of patients with varicose veins are engaged in occupations that require frequent walking; 30% are engaged in occupations that require frequent sitting; and 60% are engaged in standing and physical work, indicating that inactive standing can cause more serious damage to the veins in the lower limbs.

2.2. Pregnancy. At present, about 20% of pregnant women will develop varicose veins during pregnancy. The reason is that the change of estrogen level in women's bodies during pregnancy causes the venous smooth muscle to relax and promote valvular insufficiency. This phenomenon can be eliminated on its own in some patients after delivery, while some patients will find it difficult to recover without treatment, and the condition may even become more and more serious.

2.3. Structural defects of the vein wall. Long-term venous dilatation can cause the valves to atrophy due to disuse, or even gradually degenerate and disappear. If the valve defect precedes varicose veins, then while the valve is damaged, the venous wall will be affected, and venous congestion can also lead to varicose veins or dilatation.
