​What is the reason for sore feet and calves

Although sore feet and calves are symptoms that occur in the feet and calves, they can reflect problems in other parts of the body. Because physical conditions such as lumbar disc protrusion, Xu Liu factors, fatigue, varicose veins, lower limb venous disease, etc. can all cause calf soreness to a certain extent, so you must not ignore calf soreness. When encountering this situation, you must find out the cause in time and treat it!

1. Lumbar disc herniation

Pain is a common symptom, which can manifest as low back pain or sciatica. Typical sciatica manifests as radiating pain from the buttocks, back of the thigh, outer side of the calf to the heel or dorsum of the foot. According to clinical statistics, about 95% of patients with lumbar disc herniation have varying degrees of low back pain, and 80% of patients have lower limb pain.

2. Blood flow factors

For patients with varicose veins or deep vein thrombosis in the legs, if they maintain a certain posture for a long time while sleeping, the leg veins will be compressed and blood flow will be blocked, causing blood stasis. When the blood stasis reaches a certain level, it will cause leg muscle spasms.

3. Fatigue

Excessive leg exercise or excessive force during the day causes fatigue, the muscle tension is not improved at night, and excessive metabolic products are not metabolized in time, and its stimulation can cause calf cramps.

4. Varicose veins

Varicose veins are a common and frequently occurring disease of the human lower limb venous system. Varicose veins generally develop slowly, with early symptoms including protruding veins or calf soreness and discomfort. However, as the disease progresses, complications such as cramps, itching, pain, dermatitis, pigmentation, thrombosis, rupture and bleeding may gradually appear, eventually forming difficult-to-heal ulcers, commonly known as "old rotten legs", and severe cases may lead to amputation.

The harm of varicose veins to the legs will worsen as the disease progresses. As the disease progresses, the varicose veins in the legs will become thicker, twisted, and protruding, and the ankles may swell, which worsens after walking. The skin at the foot and boots will atrophy, become thinner, desquamate, and become pigmented. Skin and subcutaneous nodules, eczema, and ulcers will form. Some patients may develop complications such as bleeding and thrombophlebitis, which seriously affect the patient's life and work and reduce the patient's quality of life.

5. Lower limb venous disease

Some diseases are likely to cause leg soreness and swelling, such as pelvic tumors, compression of the pregnant uterus, stenosis and occlusion of the lower limb veins, etc., which will compress the lower limb veins, causing varicose veins and causing symptoms of leg soreness and swelling.
