Joint and nerve pain and muscle cramps in the legs are a common symptom of age, especially for people over 50.
Leg pain is a widespread and growing problem, especially among people over 50 and those who are overweight or obese.
A person with leg pain has discomfort in the structures of the leg, possibly caused by an injury, irritation, or inflammation of the skin, muscles, bones, or joints in the leg. Sciatica, or a herniated disk in the lumbar spine, may cause pain that shoots down the leg.
