About Leg Pain

Leg pain is not a single procedure but a common symptom evaluated and managed by Internal Medicine specialists. These physicians conduct a comprehensive assessment to diagnose the underlying cause, which can range from musculoskeletal issues like strains or arthritis to vascular problems such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or peripheral artery disease (PAD), and systemic conditions like diabetes or autoimmune disorders. The management plan is tailored to the specific diagnosis and may include medication management, lifestyle modifications, physical therapy referrals, or coordination with other specialists. The goal is to alleviate pain, address the root cause, improve mobility, and prevent complications through a holistic, patient-centered approach.

PATIENT REVIEW

James Das, a 58-year-old accountant, had...

James Das, a 58-year-old accountant, had been experiencing a persistent, deep ache in his left calf for three months. The pain, which he described as a 'heavy, tired feeling,' worsened after his evening walks and would sometimes wake him at night. An avid gardener, he found himself cutting his hobby short due to discomfort. His primary care doctor in Internal Medicine, concerned about the unilateral nature and worsening-with-activity pattern, recommended a comprehensive vascular and metabolic workup to rule out peripheral artery disease (PAD) or other systemic causes. James underwent blood tests for diabetes and cholesterol, and an ankle-brachial index (ABI) test. The non-invasive ABI was straightforward, comparing blood pressure in his ankles and arms. The results revealed mild PAD. The treatment plan involved starting a statin, a supervised walking regimen, and dietary changes. After three months of consistent treatment, James's leg pain has significantly decreased. He can now enjoy his full evening walk and is back to tending his garden. Emotionally, he moved from a state of anxious frustration, fearing a loss of his active lifestyle, to one of relief and empowerment, feeling in control of his health through manageable lifestyle adjustments.
