Why Do Your Legs Hurt? Explained in Simple Terms!
Every second person over 40 asks themselves at least once a month: "My legs hurt again! What's wrong with me?" And the most frustrating thing is that most people are treating the wrong cause. Leg pain can have 11 completely different sources, and if you get to the wrong one, no ointments or pills will ever help.
In this video, Dr. Mikhail Dubravin breaks down all 11 causes of leg pain, how to distinguish them from each other using simple signs at home without tests, and what solutions actually work for each. From restless legs at night and a pinched nerve in the spine to clogged arteries, flat feet, and deep vein thrombosis.
And at the very end of the video, there's one hidden cause that almost all doctors ignore, and it's behind one in three cases of nighttime calf pain. This cause is aggravated by all the other 11, and most people don't even realize they have it.
⚠️ This video is for informational purposes only and does not replace a doctor's consultation. In acute conditions (suddenly swollen, hot leg, severe pain with numbness), be sure to seek medical attention immediately.
