he pain can also be accompanied by neurological symptoms, such as a pins-and-needles sensation, numbness, or weakness. The weakness may be persistent, or it may come on suddenly or unpredictably, often described as the leg “giving out.”
Leg pain may be caused by a problem in the leg, but often the root cause of the problem starts in the lower back, where the sciatic nerve originates, and then travels along the path of the nerve (called sciatica).Leg pain can range from a mild nuisance that comes and goes, to debilitating pain that makes it difficult to sleep, walk, or engage in simple everyday activities.
Leg pain and numbness can be experienced in many forms—some patients describe the pain as aching, searing, throbbing, or burning, or like standing in a bucket of ice water.
