Leg
Pain
Leg pain can occur due to a herniated disc without much back pain. It could be an extruded (detached fragment) disc or spinal stenosis. Please click on those topics for further details. Leg pain
only could also be from diabetic neuropathy, tumors in the nerve or
bone, narrowed arteries with lack of blood supply, and others. A key
point is whether the pain is mechanical. That is, does it get worse
with weight bearing or moving around. Or if not, something happening
within the leg, as opposed to a pinched nerve in the back, is more likely.
Pain in the thigh can be from hip arthritis. |
