Almost every woman has high-heeled shoes. But when wearing it, my legs hurt after walking, what should I do? Most of the fair sex, giving their feet a rest, lower them into a basin of water and rub them.
The problem also affects those women who do not wear high-heeled shoes. These are representatives of professions that spend almost all their working time on their feet: hairdressers, salesmen, postmen. By the evening, these people no longer feel pain only when walking, but in any condition.
An old eastern proverb calls for taking care of your feet. Modern people do not think about the fact that if you do not pay due attention to your health, it will fail. This also applies to our feet. It turns out that it is important to train them, diagnose diseases in time and treat them. If you don't do all this, you can expose yourself to prolonged immobility.
Periodic stress on the limbs is unacceptable. It is necessary to train them constantly when walking. Most people have long been accustomed to a sedentary lifestyle, and when they urgently need to run or walk a long distance, pain in their legs appears.
Now medicine has all the necessary tools and medications to eliminate ailments associated with pain in the feet, legs, and knees. These are rubbings based on bee products, compresses, massage.
You need to see an orthopedist. The doctor will definitely answer the question why your legs hurt.
Among the provocateurs of discomfort in the lower extremities, there are also quite harmless causes. For example, general fatigue, fatigue from walking. But most often, unpleasant sensations are associated with several factors that cause a person to experience pain. Its characteristics are different:
More often than not, several types of discomfort occur at once. The reasons for it can be quite serious. Varicose veins (enlarged veins) are dangerous. With this disease, the leg or both limbs hurt. They swell, pulsate, and turn red. There are sensations of burning and heaviness, which intensify in the evening. The veins become denser. In some cases, the temperature rises. The patient has difficulty walking. The origin and development of this disease lies in the disturbance of blood circulation in the veins. Often, congestion provokes the formation of blood clots. If a doctor diagnoses thrombophlebitis, there is a risk of death of the patient as a result of a detached blood clot.
It is also difficult to walk when a person has inflammation of the sciatic nerve. The pain starts in the back and goes down the leg, and can even reach the heel. Discomfort is accompanied by burning and numbness. A neurologist will help.
Osteoporosis also causes pain in the legs. Bones become thinner because there is not enough calcium. The disease affects people aged 45-50 years. It is known that coffee intensively removes calcium from the body. Smokers are at risk of getting osteoporosis. While walking, people suffering from this disease have pain in their calves, and during the rest period they experience limb cramps.
When walking, patients with diabetes not only experience burning, swelling, tingling and pain in their limbs, but also a feeling of heaviness. The skin is peeling. The doctor who deals with this type of illness is an endocrinologist. A sugar test is required.
Flat feet cause pain in the legs. A person can acquire such a disease during life or be born with it. With flat feet, the foot muscles weaken and shock absorption functions are lost. It can be treated, it is important to follow all the orthopedist’s instructions. He will prescribe physiotherapy, massage, gymnastics; will tell you what insoles you need to put in your shoes and how to avoid pain while walking.
Minor or serious injury can cause pain in the limbs. An x-ray is urgently needed to rule out fractures. A person's disease with arthritis or arthrosis leads to the fact that the limbs “do not walk.” This happens due to inflammation of the joints. By the nature of the discomfort that patients experience, one can judge the manifestations of this particular disease. So, when a person walks, the pain either intensifies and becomes acute, or goes away completely. The limbs seem to be twisted. The areas where the joints are located become swollen.
When your leg, arm, or all limbs hurt for more than 2 days at once, you should definitely seek help from specialists. It is especially important to come to an appointment if leg pain is accompanied by weakness and redness.
It is important to periodically give up shoes while walking in the summer and on vacation. Walk on sand, small stones, grass. But when you are wearing light shoes or winter boots, you need to wear special orthopedic insoles. This will reduce the load on the soles when walking and relieve the feeling of discomfort.
It is useful to take contrast baths. Immerse your limbs alternately in containers of hot and cool water. After the procedure, rub your soles. Leg pain from fatigue and overexertion will go away.
You can add extracts of pine needles, eucalyptus, rosemary, and chamomile to the baths. This will improve blood flow and have a tonic effect. If your leg hurts, ice will help. Rub their limbs.
It is useful to make lotions or baths with sea salt. After a long walk, dip your limbs in a solution of 3 liters of water and 4 tablespoons of salt. 20 minutes is enough to relieve fatigue.
When your leg hurts due to overexertion, it is permissible to make herbal decoctions for lotions. Take mint, sage, chamomile, elderberry, yarrow. Brew 5 tablespoons of the mixture in 2 liters of hot water. Soak a piece of cloth in the product and apply to the limbs. After a few treatments, you will notice that your legs feel easier when walking. Often the herbs used are those that are on hand. Useful:
After a long walk, rubbing can be done with olive, flax, and sesame oils. A massage will relieve pain of any intensity, especially after a long walk. It is worth massaging smoothly, without pressure. This will improve blood circulation and metabolic processes.
High heels make any leg slender and beautiful. Therefore, most ladies prefer to wear shoes with stiletto heels or platforms. Even if by the evening a woman literally falls off her feet from walking on them.
However, it’s not only fashionistas wearing high heels who get sore and tired feet. Representatives of “standing” professions, for example, salespeople, also cannot feel their legs under them in the evening. And you won’t envy the owners of vegetable gardens. During the day they accumulate so much in the beds that they can barely hobble home.
When the veins in the legs hurt, treatment must be started immediately.
Meanwhile, popular wisdom says that old age begins not with wrinkles on the face, but with diseases of the legs. To this day in the East they say that a tree must take care of its roots, and a person must take care of his legs.
But we, residents of the 21st century, take our lower limbs rather frivolously. And, most importantly, we practically do not train them. And when should I do this? To work in transport, from work - too. At home, most of us immediately assume an upright position near the TV. It is not surprising that as soon as you strain your legs a little by standing for a long time, running or walking for a long distance, they immediately begin to give out.
Before reading further, I will ask you one question. Are you still looking for a varicose vein treatment that will help you?
I hasten to disappoint you , there is NOT A SINGLE CREAM that will help get rid of varicose veins.
And all the “drugs” that are sold in pharmacies and advertised on the Internet are a complete scam. Marketers are simply making huge money off your naivety.
The only drug that can somehow help you is Venorem . This drug is not sold in pharmacies and is practically not advertised on the Internet, and it costs only 1 ruble as a promotion .
So that you don’t think that they are selling you another “cream for varicose veins,” I will not describe what an effective drug it is. If interested, read all the information about Venorem yourself. Here is a link to the official Venorem website .
It must be said that since ancient times, healers have paid a lot of attention to leg diseases. This is understandable: a de-knuckled person is the same as dead. He won’t last long because he won’t be able to get food for himself. Therefore, ancient physicians had many ways to put a patient on his feet. Ancient doctors used medicinal mud compresses, herbal baths, massages to treat sore legs... In general, almost all the means that modern medicine has. Plus, pharmacists have developed many drug treatments. The patient is only required to consult a doctor in time, and not wait until the legs begin to “fall off”.
Legs can hurt for various reasons - it’s impossible to list them all. Sometimes they are quite harmless. For example, a person stood or walked for a long time, and his feet and legs began to hurt. But more often, pain in the lower extremities occurs as a symptom of serious diseases. Such as varicose veins.
That is, a violation of venous circulation. It causes heaviness in the legs and nagging pains, which noticeably intensify towards the end of the day.
In this case, stagnation of blood can provoke the formation of a blood clot in the lumen of the vein. Doctors call this trouble thrombophlebitis .
It is accompanied by severe throbbing pain and a burning sensation in the calf muscles. Plus, the calves turn red and swell. And the veins on them become denser and become so painful that it is impossible to touch them. In some cases, the patient's body temperature may rise to 38 degrees. And here you can’t do without a doctor. Moreover, it is better to go to an appointment with a specialist such as a vascular surgeon . In addition, you will need to undergo an examination: do an angioscan and take a blood test. All this will help determine how clogged the veins are and whether there is a possibility of a blood clot breaking off.
Another common cause of leg pain is inflammation of the sciatic nerve. In this case, the pain starts from the lower back and radiates to the buttock. And then spreads further down the back of the leg to the heel. This may cause a burning sensation, coldness or numbness. Such symptoms require contacting a neurologist.
High heels can lead to a serious disease - Morton's neuroma . These are pains in the legs, primarily in the forefoot, they are accompanied and usually intensified when walking.
Often, pain in the legs is the first sign of the development of osteoporosis. That is, thinning of bone tissue due to calcium deficiency. Frail and fair-haired women over the age of 40, as well as coffee and tobacco lovers, are especially susceptible to this problem. The disease manifests itself with cramps and severe pain in the calves.
But with diabetes , swelling is added to cramps, heaviness and pain in the legs. At the same time, the skin on the legs becomes dry and peels. In addition, the patient experiences a feeling of numbness and tingling in the lower extremities. So if you feel similar symptoms, then take a blood test for sugar and consult an endocrinologist .
Often, pain in the legs is caused by flat feet, which can be either congenital or acquired in adulthood. With this disease, the muscles and ligaments of the foot become weak. As a result, its arches become denser and it loses its shock-absorbing function. Therefore, the legs quickly get tired when walking and hurt. An orthopedist will help you get rid of these sensations.
Sometimes my feet hurt because of arthritis. That is, inflammation of the joints. At the same time, the painful sensations do not subside all day, sometimes intensifying and then weakening. And the nature of the pain can be different. In particular, when walking it is sharp, and when standing for a long time it twists the legs. The diseased joint itself swells and turns red.
It must be said that in any case you should not diagnose yourself and prescribe treatment. See your doctor. Especially when pain in the legs continues for more than three days and occurs in both the upper and lower parts of the extremities. You should also be wary if you feel numbness, coldness or weakness in your legs, and their skin turns blue, red or covered in ulcers.
Those who like to walk barefoot call their shoes unnecessary ballast. Like, it only makes your legs worse and hurt. Moreover, more and more people are joining the barefoot army every year. They, without any hesitation, go without shoes not only at home and on the beach, but also to the store, bank, and office.
It must be said that, on the one hand, the “tramps” are right. Walking without shoes, especially on soft grass, sand or small pebbles, helps keep your feet toned. And thereby prevent a lot of diseases of the lower extremities. On the other hand, there is no need to overuse walking barefoot along city streets or in littered places. There is a high chance of injury.
But a contrast bath is just the thing for maintaining healthy feet. It requires a bucket of warm and cold water with a temperature of about 40 and 15 degrees, respectively. Immerse both legs alternately in one or the other container several times. And then thoroughly rub your lower limbs with a towel.
You can, of course, make a regular foot bath. Just under no circumstances should it be hot. Because heat and steam make your legs swell. It is better to hold them for a minute in ordinary cold water. Or simply rub an ice cube on your feet and legs.
It’s even better to pamper your feet in a pine bath. It improves blood circulation in the lower extremities and tones them. Pour three liters of warm water into a bowl, add 2 tablespoons of pine extract and lemon juice, as well as 3 tablespoons of regular or sea salt. Then put your feet in the water and hold it for 15 minutes.
Herbal baths are also very useful for feet . A decoction for them can be prepared by mixing 4 tablespoons of peppermint leaves, sage, yarrow, chamomile and elderberry flowers. Pour this mixture with two liters of boiling water and cook it for 20 minutes over low heat. Then strain the broth and let it cool. Pour the “medicine” into a basin and soak your feet in it for half an hour. In the same way, you can prepare an infusion of nettle, plantain, coltsfoot, mint and linden blossom.
In general, you can add any herbal decoction to the foot bath. Thus, rosemary and mint relieve pain, thyme disinfects, and calendula and chamomile have a calming effect. And it will be absolutely wonderful if, after water treatments, you lubricate your skin with oil: olive, sesame, linseed...
The best way to prevent and relieve leg pain is to massage them. After all, massage has a beneficial effect on blood vessels, muscles and sweat glands, accelerates metabolic processes, and improves blood circulation. A foot massage is beneficial not only for the legs, but also for general well-being. Because there are many points here that are connected to almost all of our organs. However, please note that foot massage is contraindicated for those who suffer from varicose veins, skin diseases and swelling of the legs.
massage your feet in every appropriate case. For example, in the morning, without getting out of bed, or in the evening, sitting in front of the TV. However, you don’t need any special techniques for this. Rub, stroke, knead and pinch your feet, calf muscles, heels, insteps, knee joints, thighs. Moreover, theoretically, the more energetic the massage, the more actively the blood will begin to circulate in the legs.
By the way, to make your legs hurt less, you can massage them at work, during a break. Bend your leg at the knee and place it on a low chair so that the calf muscles relax as much as possible. Then start stroking and kneading them with both palms, as well as the thumbs of both hands. In this case, the movements should be directed from the foot to the thigh. When finishing the massage, lightly shake and stroke the calf muscles .
An interesting folk recipe from one of the readers who treated knee pain with tar.
Ballerinas never sit down if they feel that their legs are starting to buzz after long training. Do you know why? It's just that when a person sits down to fully enjoy his vacation, he does himself a disservice.
Because the arteries that carry blood and life-giving oxygen to the lower extremities pass precisely in the place that is pressed against the chair. Because of this, the blood exchange of someone who is in a sitting position slows down. Well, if you also cross your legs, then the whole rest will be in vain - your legs hurt and will continue to hurt.
Therefore, ballerinas, in order to regain strength, simply lean against the wall and stretch out so that nothing interferes with the natural flow of blood. You can, of course, sit down. But only in the most free position.
But to prevent leg pain , you need to do simple exercises regularly throughout the day. Specifically, while standing, roll from your heels to your toes about 10 times. Then walk in place for a minute, raising your knees high. Then perform 10-15 swings with each leg forward and backward. And finally, raise your arms up, inhale deeply and, as you exhale, bend forward. Do this exercise 5-7 times.
You can practice at home while lying on your back. So, spread your legs wider and make circular movements with your feet 8-12 times in each direction. Then connect the limbs together and bend one of them at the knee, straighten it up, and lower it. Then move your leg to the side, lift it up and lower it. Repeat this exercise 5-8 times with each leg.

Lilac tincture helped me relieve the pain in my legs. I have loved this plant since childhood. I cannot pass by the wonderful flowers of lilac, I cannot remain indifferent to its aroma. At my dacha, the entire space near the house is planted with lilac bushes. In spring, it’s so nice to sit on the porch in the evening, inhaling the amazing smell. I put a lot of work into making sure my bushes are healthy, blooming and beautiful. And the lilac repaid me with kindness! The tincture helped both me and my husband. And now I always have it on hand, because the tincture is great for healing bruises.

When the tincture is ready, begin treatment. It will take a long time, but the result is worth it. Every evening I thoroughly rubbed my feet with this tincture.
