Many problems in the legs clearly originate
in a particular joint. Immediate treatment:
• Keep the leg at a rest in
the position of greatest comfort. Most
disorders in the leg need rest and
initially, and many will clear with rest
alone.
When to
consult a doctor
• If there is recent injury causing any
deformity, or extensive bruising.
• If pain is severe or has not cleared up
after three day’s rest.
• If symptoms have occurred before
