Frequent causes of leg pain are disorders of the vascular system. Blood does not flow out of the vein; blood stagnates, putting pressure on the vessels. When pressure is applied, the nerve roots are irritated and pain occurs. Often the legs hurt in the ankle area, worsening with the slightest movement. This is a signal for the development of varicose veins. Diseases of the joint area are often accompanied by nagging pain in the legs.
Inflammation of the sciatic nerve is a secondary pathological process that is formed by another process of inflammation or tumor factor in the lumbar region. With these forms of pain, pain occurs inside the thigh, on the front surface. Upon examination, they are determined by local palpation of the patient.
The patient, in a lying position, trying to bend his legs, experiences aching sensations. Consult your doctor to determine the type and causes of inflammation. Perform laboratory diagnostics to determine the nature of the pathological disease.
Legs hurt and ache when there is a sudden change in weather. In chronic and uncured forms, the sensations become painful. When your legs hurt like this, the cartilage tissue is destroyed. Treatment and diagnosis are made by a doctor after examination in a hospital setting.
The next leg disease is osteoporosis. The density of bone tissue decreases, the hip and knee joints ache. Bone density decreases and the period of hormonal function decline.
The density of tissue in the joint often decreases with nicotine addiction.
Joint pain also occurs with diabetes. With this disease, there is not only a pain factor, but also severe swelling, numbness, and tingling. The skin becomes dry and begins to peel. This symptom requires the initiation of treatment measures. Paroxysmal pain. Patients are treated in specialized hospitals.
If there is a sharp aching pain or cramps, call an ambulance. Legs often ache due to blockage of a large artery when the artery does not function. To save the injured limb, emergency surgical assistance is needed.
Treatment begins with a consultation with a vascular surgeon. Doctors examine, determine diagnostic methods and therapeutic measures.
Semi-bed rest is prescribed with the use of analgesics and anti-inflammatory drugs to relieve pain in the patient and alleviate his condition.
When the symptoms of the disease are alleviated, therapeutic loads on the affected limb begin for a full recovery period and movement in the limb.
To treat the inflammatory process in muscle and nerve tissues, complex measures are required:
Drug therapy is used in general and local methods.
Nonsteroidal hormonal anti-inflammatory drugs, steroid drugs, and chondroprotectors are prescribed.
Non-steroidal drugs are prescribed for treatment in tablet form, in the form of ointments and injections. Non-steroidal substances relieve inflammatory reactions and aching sensations in the legs. A common ointment of non-steroidal origin is Finalgel. Relieves pain, inflammation, reduces tissue swelling and redness.
These drugs help get rid of excruciating pain and reduce swelling inside the joint.
Steroid hormonal drugs are prescribed only internally, for example, in the area of a sore joint. Hydrocortisone preparations, substances from the group of synthetic glucocorticoids, relieve pain in the legs - this is the purpose:
Among medications for relieving pain in the extremities, chondroprotectors give good results, for example:
These medicinal substances are intended for oral administration under medical supervision. Only the doctor determines the duration of taking medications and the dosage.
Use ointments containing Ibuprofen. This is a non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory ointment.
It is possible to use the combined use of drugs that have an anesthetic effect and are prescribed for paravertebral blockade. Combined procedures will not relieve inflammation in the limbs, but will help relieve pain in the affected limbs. This will improve the patient's condition and help increase movement in the legs. The absence of pain improves the patient's mood and gives hope for recovery.
For complete treatment of the limb, therapeutic massage is used. Massage is used both acupressure and segmental. The duration of the massage is at least half an hour of each type, carried out every other day.
Cryotherapy is often used - procedures using cold. It is carried out under the supervision of doctors in a specialized cryochamber. It affects cold both on individual areas of the skin and on the entire body for a short period of time. The method acts on blood vessels (first, vascular spasms occur, and then complete expansion, which causes pronounced redness of the skin).
The procedure lasts no more than 3.5 hours. Enhances heat transfer, stimulates the functions of the skin and internal organs. Cold therapeutic procedures stimulate the performance of the heart and blood vessels, improve the outflow of venous blood, and normalize metabolic processes. This has a positive therapeutic effect on inflammation and joint dysfunction.
In cases where therapeutic loads have no effect, the surgical route is indicated.
Surgical intervention is a method of treating vascular pathology after injuries. This could be ligament ruptures. Surgery will restore damaged ligaments and remove pathological areas of tissue.
Chronic colitis is one of the most common diseases in children, which is based on inflammation and degeneration of the mucous membrane with a functional disorder of the colon.
Dizziness is a person’s illusory perception of his own and external movements. This complaint occurs in 3-5% of patients seeking medical help from a general practitioner and in 10% of patients when visiting a neurologist.
Lumbar lordosis is smoothed. The axis of the spine in the frontal plane is slightly curved to the left
There is local thickening and subchondral sclerosis of the end plates of the vertebral bodies. On the anterolateral surfaces of the vertebral bodies, marginal bone growths up to 8 mm in size are noted; on the posterolateral surfaces of the bodies L3, L4, L5 of the lower end plates, marginal bone growths reach sizes from 2 to 6 mm.
In the L2-L3 segment, there is a circular protrusion of the intervertebral disc up to 3 mm, fragmented calcification of the anterior longitudinal ligament.
In the L3-L4 segment there is a circular protrusion of the intervertebral disc up to 4 mm.
In the L4 – L5 segment, a circular protrusion with a foraminal component on the left, up to 6 mm in size, is noted; on the left, at the level of the intervertebral foramen, an additional formation is identified emerging from the foramen of a round shape with smooth, clear contours, measuring 11×13 mm. Fragmented calcification of the anterior and posterior longitudinal ligaments.
In the L5 – S1 segment, the height of the disc space is unevenly reduced, there is a circular protrusion of up to 4 mm, and fragmentary calcification of the anterior and posterior longitudinal ligaments. The lateral pockets of the subdural space are narrowed due to marginal bone growths of hypertrophic spondyloarthrosis and hypertrophied yellow ligaments. On the right, the lateral recess is 2 mm, on the left 4 mm (normal size is > 4 – 5 mm).
In the facet joints throughout the study, uneven narrowing of the joint spaces, compaction, subchondral sclerosis, deformation of the end plates, in places with cyst-like restructuring of the bone structure, and marginal bone growths of up to 6 mm were noted.
Destructive changes in bones are not determined at the research level.
Conclusion: CT scan - signs of degenerative - dystrophic changes in the lumbar spine: osteochondrosis, spondyloarthrosis, spondylosis. Protrusion of intervertebral discs in segments L2 - L3, L3 - L4, L4 - L5, L5 - S1. Foraminal stenosis in the L4 - L5 segment on the left. Neuroma of the root on the left in the L4 - L5 segment
People do not always pay attention to fatigue and pain in their legs. If your legs ache below the knees, in front and behind, then this may indicate a number of diseases.
If we are talking about the area that is located below the knee joint, then we are talking about the lower leg. It consists of the tibia and fibula, muscles, including those located behind, as well as nerves and blood vessels. Pain may result from damage to one or more of these structures.
Why do your legs still ache below the knees? This can happen for many reasons; let’s look at the most common cases in clinical practice.
A strict diet or refusal to eat, poor nutrition, impaired absorption in the digestive organs and some other reasons can result in a lack of potassium, calcium or magnesium in the body. This type of condition is characterized by the occurrence of pain and cramps in the back, in the calf muscle, especially at night. To relieve suffering, a person is forced to massage the calf muscle. With severe deficiency of microelements, cramps can occur mainly at the back, in the lower leg area, and above the knee, in the thigh area.
It can occur during prolonged standing or walking, as well as during intense sports training. This phenomenon is especially often observed with physical inactivity or excess weight with increased load on the lower limbs, including below the knee. That is why doctors recommend exercising and losing weight to prevent the development of pathological conditions in the limbs.
Violation of the tissue structure as a result of a fall or a strong blow often ends in stretching or tearing of muscles, cracks or fractures of bones. Subsequently, this manifests itself in the form of unpleasant sensations in the leg, mainly when the weather changes, in old age. This symptom is characterized by increased discomfort in the evening and at night.
As a result of hypothermia, myositis can occur, for which a fairly characteristic symptom is pain below the knee at the back. Inflammatory phenomena also occur in ligaments or synovial bursae.
Pain occurs when the patency of the arteries in the lower leg area is impaired, and this occurs due to tissue ischemia due to a decrease in the main blood flow in the arterial vessels due to a decrease in the lumen and the deposition of cholesterol on the inner wall. Increased pain occurs with prolonged stress on the legs, for example, when walking. To improve the condition, such a patient needs to take a break and then move on.
In the future, as the pathological process develops, the length of the path shortens, and more and more time for rest is required. The skin becomes dry, begins to peel, the structure of the nails changes, and trophic ulcers form. In the absence of help in the form of surgical intervention, everything can end in gangrene and death of the patient.
In the initial stage, there is swelling at the end of the day, aching pain, which at first many people mistake for fatigue, especially after standing for a long time, and possible manifestations of cramps. Later, the characteristic dilatation of the veins occurs.
With venous thrombosis, which often acts as a complication of varicose veins, the following are observed:
Arterial thrombosis is characterized by:
In this case, pain occurs not only in the joint area, but sometimes in the leg below the knee. Sometimes it is observed in athletes with damage to the meniscus. In such cases, the pain syndrome is accompanied by swelling of the inflamed area and impaired mobility of the limb in the joint.
Occurs against the background of a deficiency or disorder of calcium metabolism. The structure of the bones changes, they become brittle and brittle. The disease primarily affects women who have entered menopause. Pain can be noted not only below the joint, but also above it, at the back of the limb, as well as in any place that is affected by osteoporosis.
Disturbance of innervation with hyperesthesia in type 2 diabetes mellitus, smoking, chronic alcoholism. Occurs due to metabolic disorders. The pain is constant and does not depend on physical activity. Often accompanied by a feeling of chilliness.
There is often pain below and sometimes above the knee and due to other pathological conditions:
It becomes obvious that such symptoms in the lower extremities can occur not only due to ordinary fatigue. They often precede the development of serious diseases, which is why it is so important to consult a specialist in time and not to let the disease progress.
and then a week later an anal fissure appeared on the other side of the hemorrhoid. I contacted a proctologist. After 1.5 months of treatment, the crack healed, and the hemorrhoid retracted, leaving a small bluish area. Where there was a bluish area left, it began to ache. The proctologist said that this is a temporary phenomenon and will pass soon. A month later I consulted a proctologist
, because the aching pain did not go away, and my anus began to ache and I felt as if I was sitting on a tennis ball. Proctologist
He looked at me again, did a colonoscopy, and said that I had no proctological diseases. Although there is muscle tension. He was diagnosed with acute prostatitis. I was treated by a urologist. The urologist says that everything is normal now. But the anus ached and ached and began to radiate pain to the right leg. Very similar to an inflammatory process. What could it be? Which doctor should I contact??
Please tell me what kind of formation this could be, my husband and I have not used protection for 2 months, the last menstruation began on July 18, lasted 7 days. The test is negative. For three days I had a slight prick in the lower abdomen on the right, aching pain radiated to the leg, the leg is no longer It hurts, but the tingling has not gone away. General health is normal.
Please help me, I can’t run, or ride a bike, or even really walk, and during the “ice” season I’m completely afraid to go outside, because... loss of balance on ice and sudden support on a partially bent leg is reflected by acute pain in the knee and then, within a week, swelling of the knee and aching pain throughout the entire joint. I constantly apply anti-inflammatory ointments to my knee, but it hardly makes any sense.
I am 31 years old; during my student years I worked as a waitress for 3 months in the summer, where I had to carry heavy trays on my right shoulder. I am very thin and this job was not easy for me. Soon my feet began to hurt, especially the right one, which bore a large load. I left the restaurant, school started again, my leg hurt and everything went away. There were no tumors, no acute pain - just a dull aching pain, a feeling of cottoniness, pulse and heat in the leg, especially at rest. After some time, the pain began to return periodically - it would hurt for a couple of weeks, then again for six months it would go away.
In the last couple of years, I began to notice that the return of attacks of pain became more frequent and more pronounced (so that sometimes I even had to take painkillers). A year ago, I finally went to see a doctor (a general practitioner and a neurologist) - unfortunately, the doctor did not take me seriously, saying that such diseases only occur in old people, and my joints would be swollen and very painful. I took tests (blood, urine and rheumatic tests) - and all the results came back within normal limits. The doctor advised me to think less about it and everything will pass.
This fall the pain came again and now it has been with me for almost 2 months. There is no swelling in the joints (feet, knees, elbows, hands), but there is a feeling of heat on the skin, some kind of tightness on the skin (especially in the morning), the pain in the right foot is dull, aching, there is a pulse and heat in the leg and right hand - especially at night, but often all day. From time to time, my leg feels like it’s wobbly, I want to constantly massage a point on the foot (where the instep of the foot is), sometimes I noticed a temperature of 37 and slight chills. Joints crunch all over the body, but without pain.
Full of determination, I went to the doctors to find out what was wrong.
blood/urine normal
ECG - sinus rhythm, irregular, sinus arrhythmia 67-81 per minute, ventricular complexes without features.
Ultrasound of the thyroid gland and abdominal organs without pathologies.
C-reactive protein 1+
X-ray of the right foot - no bone destructive changes are noted, but there is deformation of the interphalangeal joints of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th toes.
From time to time I am bothered by a slight tickling sensation in my chest and feel like coughing.
Chlamydia was found a long time ago, but it has not been detected in tests for 10 years (a recent femoflora test showed thrush and candida fungi). My grandmother had polyarthritis throughout her old age until her death.
Is there a connection between all these symptoms and which doctor is wiser to see? What additional tests make sense to take?
Legs “hum”…..Heaviness and aching pain in the legs, transient swelling of the legs, cramps in the calf muscles, a burning sensation and numbness in the legs and feet - all these are signs of restless legs syndrome. Why do my legs swell? What to do to prevent the development of the disease and identify its causes in time? These questions cannot be answered unambiguously. Most often, representatives of the fair sex encounter these problems, but at first they do not attach much importance to them, attributing them to ordinary fatigue. At work all day on your feet, with bags and packages from the store, in the evening in heels, and at home at your post at the stove - all this is the normal life rhythm of most women. However, over time, the symptoms progress and become more severe and painful. There are many cases where minor pain in the leg below the knee developed over time into a serious problem. Restless legs syndrome occurs in 75% of women after 30 years of age and in 25% of men after 40 years of age. There are several reasons for the development of this condition, but the main one is the discrepancy between the venous and lymphatic drainage and the load on the legs. Therefore, in some cases, this condition may be the first harbinger of upcoming venous insufficiency and varicose veins. Another reason associated with the occurrence of this syndrome is congenital or acquired flat feet. Acquired flattening of the foot develops as a result of static loads on the leg, excess weight, and prolonged standing. Normally, the arch of the foot is designed to absorb the load on the leg. In the case of flat feet, the normal functioning of the tendons and muscles of the leg and foot is disrupted, which leads to changes in the work of the veins of the leg, located in the thickness of these muscles, and the veins will work with significant overload. Pressure increases in the veins of the leg, venous stagnation develops, metabolic products are absorbed and cause pain. Due to high pressure, the valves of the connecting veins are destroyed, varicose veins in the saphenous veins are disturbed, and cramps appear in the calf muscles - a “vicious circle.” This is why restless legs syndrome cannot be ignored, as it may be the first signal of the development of varicose veins. If the patient has already formed varicose veins, the main treatment methods come down to various options for surgical intervention . At the stage of developing varicose veins, prevention and correction are possible using conservative or minimally invasive methods, that is, the notorious “treatment of varicose veins without surgery.” In this situation, it will be effective and will help prevent the development of the disease. What are the main signs of restless leg syndrome?
If you are familiar with these signs, the first thing you need to do is diagnosis, that is, examine the veins of the legs using duplex ultrasound scanning . Such an examination will help you find out how pronounced the changes in blood flow through the veins are, and what type of correction you need. Since changes in the veins at this stage are usually minimal, only an experienced ultrasound specialist can recognize and evaluate them. Ideally, if the ultrasound specialist is also a vascular surgeon, you will be immediately given informed recommendations. In addition, you need to be examined for flat feet. Such diagnostics are carried out using the methods of plantography (obtaining a graphic “imprint” of the plantar surface of the foot), planotoscopy (visual express diagnosis of the condition of the arches of the foot) or plantoscanning (obtaining an image of the patient’s feet on a monitor screen using a scanning method). If flat feet are detected, measures must be taken to correct it.
In some cases, you may be recommended to consult a neurologist or vertebrologist, since often pain in the lower extremities can be caused by pathology of the lumbar spine.
In the initial stages of the development of restless legs syndrome, treatment is aimed at eliminating venous and lymphatic congestion and correcting flat feet in order to break the “vicious circle”. First of all, you need to think about comfortable clothes and shoes. If possible, avoid wearing tight, tight, tight-fitting trousers - they can put pressure on venous and lymphatic vessels, especially in the area of natural folds (below the knee, groin fold, etc.). The heel should be about 3-4 cm, especially if you have to spend the whole day on your feet. Try not to get used to sitting cross-legged. If at the end of the day there is such an opportunity, lie down for 15-30 minutes. on your back with your legs raised up, which will improve blood flow and help relieve the feeling of heaviness. Try to control your body weight. With excess weight, the load on the bones of the foot, muscles, ligaments, and blood vessels of the legs increases significantly, which leads to the development of lymphovenous insufficiency. It is necessary to monitor the water-salt balance. Excessive consumption of salty foods leads to excessive fluid retention and swelling. Insufficient fluid intake into the body can lead to thickening of the blood and cause blood clots in the veins. Don't forget to walk! It is much healthier for your legs to walk than to stand or sit, because when walking, the muscles of the legs contract, “squeezing out” stagnant blood. Therefore, if you are an office worker, do not forget once every 40-50 minutes. get up from the computer and at least walk around the office. Swimming is very good for your legs. This type of physical activity optimally combines all the positive effects on the lower limbs and is recommended for various venous diseases. Leg exercises you can do on your own:
In addition, it is useful to massage your feet and walk barefoot more often. Among the therapeutic procedures, the use of compression hosiery, wearing individual orthopedic insoles, and pneumopressotherapy are effective. Wearing compression hosiery helps reduce swelling of the lower limb and fluid retention in the legs, increases the efficiency of the lower leg muscles in pumping venous blood and, thus, reduces stagnation of blood and lymph. Compression knitwear has an undeniable advantage over elastic bandages, both due to the ease of wearing and due to clearly graduated compression. You need to know that the therapeutic effect of wearing compression hosiery depends on the careful selection of its size and degree of compression. Ideally, knitwear should be selected individually, and its selection should be preceded by taking measurements of the leg. The effectiveness of elastic compression increases when it is prescribed in combination with medications - venotonics. Pneumopressotherapy is a method of hardware physiotherapy, which is a method of mechanical action on the tissues of the lower extremities, resulting in the displacement of venous blood from the muscle “pockets” where it stagnates, as well as excess extracellular fluid. This is a kind of “squeezing massage”, performed not manually, but with the help of special equipment that allows you to dose the effects depending on the density and permeability of the tissues. Just one such procedure replaces 20-30 sessions of manual massage. In addition to the therapeutic effect on venous and lymphatic vessels, pneumopressotherapy also has a positive effect from a cosmetological point of view, helping to fight cellulite, eliminate sagging skin, making it more elastic. Electromyostimulation is a procedure in which the lower leg muscles are stimulated using a device. The device causes rhythmic muscle contractions, during which stagnant blood is “squeezed out” from the latter. Thus, venous and lymphatic drainage from soft tissues improves. This procedure can be used both in combination with pneumopressotherapy and elastic compression, and in case of difficulties with wearing compression stockings (very full legs, changes in the skin, hot season, etc.). Correction of flat feet. The most effective method is orthopedic insoles. It is especially important to wear shoes with insoles if work involves being on your feet for a long time. Ideally, insoles should be custom made and subsequently adjusted if necessary. Correctly performed correction of flat feet will help you not only with tired leg syndrome, but also with pain in the knee and hip joints, and the lumbar spine.

The appearance of pain in the sacrum is a signal from our body about disturbances in its functioning. It plays an important role, the sacrum is connected to the spine and coccyx, blood arteries and nerves pass through it.
Most often, pain in the sacrum bothers women due to the presence of an organ such as the uterus, which is connected to the sacrum by the uterosacral ligaments. Let's find out in more detail what the sacrum is and consider what could be the causes of pain in it? Here you will find a similar article on the topic “Pain in the left side below the ribs - what could it be?”.
The sacrum is a triangular-shaped bone that is located between the two pelvic bones and forms with them the upper part of the pelvic cavity. One part of the sacrum is connected to the coccyx, and the other to the last lumbar vertebra.
The sacrum is made up of five fused sacral vertebrae. It consists of a back and front surface, a base, an apex and two lateral edges. The anterior plane of the sacrum is called the pelvic surface.
It shows traces of fusion of five sacral vertebrae (four transverse lines). The nerves of the spinal cord along with the vessels pass through the four pelvic openings.
This pain is called sacrodynia. This symptom can be caused by damage to the sacral bone itself or diseases of the internal organs.
Answer to the question: why does the tailbone hurt? - read here.
The cause of sacrodynia can be a displacement of the cross-iliac joint, which is either congenital or occurs as a result of injury. There are two types of displacement: displacement of the right pelvic bones and the left, and the symptoms for each side are different.
When the left side is displaced, blood circulation in the left leg is disrupted, pain and swelling of the left leg, convulsions, disturbances in the functioning of the heart or lungs, weakened immunity, frequent constipation, and weight gain occur.
If the problem is a displacement of the right side of the cruciate joint, then the following symptoms are observed: pain in the right leg, cramps, the stomach, liver and intestines suffer, frequent diarrhea is possible, and, conversely, weight loss.
If sacrodynia is the result of an injury, then after being at rest this symptom goes away within a couple of weeks. If the pain does not stop, you should consult a doctor. Read about which doctor to see if your back hurts here.
Aching or nagging pain in the sacrum may indicate displacement of the vertebrae, called spondylolisthesis.
Also, this symptom appears with malignant and benign tumors, or inflammatory processes in the pelvic organs. In men, such pain may be a sign of chronic prostatitis.
If you are bothered by a dull, aching pain in the sacrum and lower back, this may be a symptom of osteochondrosis or a lumbar intervertebral hernia.
In this case, the pain syndrome manifests itself when sitting for a long time or after physical activity. Also, pain simultaneously in both the sacrum and lower back indicates disturbances in the functioning of the intestines, thrombophlebitis and varicose veins.
There are also many causes not related to problems in the sacrum itself, for example, various diseases:
In women, sacrodynia can occur with various gynecological diseases, during menstruation, during pregnancy:
In men, the most common causes of aching pain in the sacral area are chronic prostatitis and prostate cancer:
Other causes of pain in the sacrum:
A symptom such as pain in the sacral region may indicate the development of many serious diseases, so you should consult a specialist as soon as possible.
Women, first of all, need to be examined by a gynecologist, undergo general blood and urine tests, as well as a microflora smear.
To confirm the diagnosis, an ultrasound scan of the pelvic organs may be prescribed, as well as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which will show whether there are any damage to the bones or sacral spine. Using MRI, you can monitor the presence of tumors and inflammation.
When the cause of pain in the sacrum is determined, treatment is prescribed.
Of course, treatment will depend on the disease that gives such a symptom. For example, in case of osteochondrosis or abnormal development of the spine, surgery may be prescribed.
Or, if the disease is not advanced, a set of procedures is prescribed: physical therapy, physiotherapy, massage, and they are supported by drug treatment.
Tumors (for example, cervical cancer) are treated with laser therapy and surgery.
If pain in the sacrum is associated with pregnancy, then the following set of measures is prescribed: massage, special exercises, wearing a support bandage, taking vitamins and painkillers (if the pain is pronounced).
If sacrodynia occurs during menstruation, a special massage or taking hormonal medications can help, which will relieve tension in the muscles and reduce pain.
Treatment methods for sacral bone injury:
If the injury is not severe (no fractures), then after a couple of weeks the pain goes away and the person returns to a normal lifestyle.
General recommendations for the treatment of pain in the sacrum:
So, we found out that frequent pain in the sacrum can indicate many serious diseases.
Therefore, if you experience this symptom, it is better to immediately consult a doctor, since timely treatment will protect you from unpleasant consequences. And remember that self-medication in such a situation is dangerous!
a) scoliosis of the spine in the healthy direction;
b) pain along the sciatic nerve;
c) positive Lasègue symptom (pain when passively raising a straightened leg in a patient in a horizontal position);
d) limitation of flexion movements of the spine due to pain along the back of the leg;
e) atrophy of the lower leg muscles (with a certain duration of the disease);
f) decreased or absent Achilles reflex;
g) hypoesthesia on the outer surface of the leg.
— sharp pain in the leg does not subside for three days;
- legs become numb, cold and weak;
- pain radiates to the upper and lower parts of the legs;
- the skin turns blue and swells;
— After the injury, severe swelling appeared.
