5. Rheumatoid arthritis can contribute to leg pain.
It is a chronic inflammatory joint disorder that can affect your bones in your legs. When you have rheumatoid arthritis, there will be pain and swelling of the joints.
The pain can be from mild to severe, but you won’t be able to walk or bear weight on your leg. You can rub topical analgesics ointment on your leg and take over-the-counter pain medication. There is no cure for rheumatoid arthritis, but when an episode occurs, there are things that can be done to help relieve the pain. Your leg pain will get worse when you do a physical activity, such as walking.
You won’t be able to walk too far before you start having pain. You’ll need to sit down before you can go any further. In fact, you won’t be able to walk briskly. You’ll have to walk slowly to avoid any sudden pain.
