Dr. Guan Yanlei
Leg muscle pain is caused by factors such as overexertion and lumbar disc herniation. Prolonged walking, standing, or similar activities can lead to excessive fatigue of the leg muscles, resulting in aseptic, fatigue-related, or overuse-induced inflammation, which in turn causes leg muscle pain. The condition is relatively common and primarily characterized by lower back pain, radiating pain in the lower limbs, and numbness in the legs.
