What Causes Lower Leg Pain In An Elderly Woman?
Hello, It could be neuropathic pain or peripheral vascular disease. As first-line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief. If symptoms persist you can opt for an arterial Doppler. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
