Leg pain of any kind can be debilitating, and you don’t need that this close to the finish line. Summer’s just around the corner, and you’ve almost completed your task of equipping your students for the next year. So, what happens next if you don’t seek treatment?

• Swollen Legs: The excess buildup of fluid in your leg tissues, often due to prolonged sitting or medical conditions like heart or kidney issues.
  • If left untreated? Skin ulcers, cellulitis, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) to name a few.
• Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS): A neurological disorder causing uncomfortable leg sensations and an urge to move them, especially at night. 
  • If left untreated? A gradual decline in your overall health, from recurring sleep disturbances to the likelihood of developing mental health issues.
• Leg Numbness: The loss of sensation or tingling in your legs, caused by nerve pressure or underlying conditions like sciatica.
  • If left untreated? An increased risk of falls combined with decreased mobility that will progress underlying conditions.
• Charley Horses (Muscle Cramps): Painful muscle spasms, commonly in your calf muscles, due to dehydration, muscle fatigue, or electrolyte imbalances.
  • If left untreated? Persistent pain and discomfort that will limit mobility and decrease overall physical activity that can increase your risk of injury.
