To alleviate leg pain after mountain climbing, rest should be the primary approach, along with minimizing walking. Physical therapy methods—such as heat application, massage, and acupuncture—can help relieve symptoms. When necessary, under a physician’s guidance, medications that promote blood circulation and unblock meridians may be prescribed. For pain relief, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may also be used.
