pain in any part of your leg, identifying the specific symptom location/ pattern may help determine the cause. The Mayo Clinic has found several leading causes of hip, knee and leg pain. While many causes exist, the most likely are:
• Arthritis • Dislocation • Hip fracture • Sprains and strains
• Referred from lower back • Tendonitis • Pinched nerves
• Osteoporosis • Cancer
The normal aging process results in joints wear and tear (also known as osteoarthritis), and commonly is responsible for hip/knee pain. In some cases, limited blood flowmay cause bone tissue death or necrosis. If you’re experiencing redness, inflammation, and immobilized joints, the condition may be severe. What Are the Symptoms? While leg pain symptom quality, location and cause widely vary, some of those symptoms are more obvious than others. Aching or stiffness around the hip, groin, back or thigh may be a sign of deeper problems. A loss of range of motion may also be a warning sign of deeper problems which may later result in hip, knee or leg pain.
