Hi Sumaira,
Leg pain can have various causes, including muscle strain, poor circulation, or underlying conditions like arthritis or sciatica. To address it, consider the following steps:
- Rest and Elevation: Rest the affected leg and keep it elevated to reduce swelling.
- Apply Ice or Heat: Ice packs can help with acute pain and inflammation, while heat may soothe muscle tension.
- Over-the-counter Pain Relief: Medications like ibuprofen can reduce pain and inflammation.
- Consult a Doctor: If the pain is severe, persistent, or accompanied by other symptoms (like swelling, redness, or numbness), it’s important to see a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
We hope you find relief soon!
