Why aching legs

See the doctor for an X-ray to search for broken bones. This is when the muscle, normally in your calf, is unexpectedly tightened.

It may lead to extreme pain, and you can feel a hard muscle lump under your skin. Cramps typically go away on their own and are not usually a symptom of any health issues, but speak to the doctor if you have them often.

Pace Physical Therapy in San Jose, California specializes in non-surgical neck pain relief and recovery therapies. We pride ourselves on offering the best possible physical therapy available and going above and beyond for our patients.

Our highly experienced physical therapist will work with you to improve your function and relieve your pain. We start by assessing the body as a whole.

Oftentimes the cause of pain or an injury extends far beyond just the body part or muscle hurting. Without taking a comprehensive look at your entire self, we would be doing you a disservice in fully helping you heal and preventing future limitations. We then move on to fixing your areas of limitation.

Not all diagnoses are created equal. One person with neck pain may have completely different limitations than the next person. Your recovery program needs to be specific to what YOUR body needs and not just the typical exercise program that you can find online. Contact us today to schedule your appointment!

No information provided by Baldwin Publishing, Inc. Baldwin Publishing, Inc. But left untreated, PAD can increase the risk for heart attack or stroke. In some extreme cases, it leads to lower limb amputation. Although PAD can affect the arms, it's more likely to affect the legs and feet. Symptoms include cramping, fatigue, heaviness, and pain or discomfort in the legs and buttocks, especially during activity.

Other symptoms include chronic toe or foot sores; numbness in the extremities; weakness in the calf muscle; cold legs and feet; or feet that turn pale when elevated. You may experience nerve pain during the night as the pressure of sleeping in a particular position may aggravate or cause compression of a nerve. This pain may not occur during your daily activities.

Neuropathies cause damage to the nerves, resulting in altered sensations or increased sensitivity. Often movement can help with your nerve pain. Performing gentle movements to encourage the muscles to warm up through improved circulation can be an effective way to ease your symptoms.

There are other treatment options available too, which our podiatrist or your doctor can help in finding the best option for you. Your uterus is also putting extra pressure on the veins responsible for carrying blood back from your lower body. This partially blocks the blood flow, keeping the fluid in your legs and feet, which causes them to become swollen and tired. Gentle stretching and massage can help to relieve the tightness and fatigue felt through the legs and feet maybe from a kind partner or friend!

If this is not effective, our podiatrists can also help with these issues by prescribing specific exercises, giving advice on footwear, educating about these common issues, and offering custom orthotics to offload the high pressure areas.

Gout causes intense pain and swelling around the joints often starting in the big toe. It is triggered by a chemical reaction, causing the deposit of urate crystals in the impacted joint. Attacks usually occur when you have been consuming certain foods and drinks that are high in purine. It will often flare up when people drink beer or red wine and rich foods such as cheeses and red meats. Seemingly, we often see a higher incidence of gout after major events like the State of Origin or Super Bowl, where people are likely to let loose on indulgent food and drink.
