Pains in the legs could be due to joint pains or due to muscle cramps. Joint pains are generally observed in arthritis, a condition which sets in as the person’s advances in age. In arthritis, the articulation of the bones gradually wears out over time, leading to pains whenever they function. This is called as Aama Vata in Ayurvedic language.
Pains occur when there is an ama buildup in the body. Ama is the name given to the toxic materials caused due to improper digestion that cannot be expelled from the body. Such ama causes several problems, including leg pains. Ama is built up due to high agni, i.e. digestive fire, which is governed by the pitta dosha.

Under natural circumstances, the leg and back muscles are supposed to work with each other in complete and total harmony. If there is a strain in either, it causes the delicate balance to tip, causing both back and leg pain. If you have been going to bad back pain, you will find your legs getting strained as well. So this goes to show the pain are indeed connected and that neglecting one part can cause equal, if not more, injury to the other too.

Causes:

If you have suffered an injury to the bone, muscle or tendon of your leg, it's easy to connect these injuries to leg pain and seek treatment. Sometimes, however, the cause of leg pain is not crystal clear. Vascular disorders involving the vessels that carry blood and lymph throughout the body can cause blood clots or varicose veins. Blood clots, known as deep vein thrombosis, often result from prolonged bed rest.

Swelling - The possible joints pain condition produce a swelling around the joint. With a simple glance inflammation may either be seen or not seen but can be felt. Anti-inflammatory medications are used to ease the swelling from joint pain conditions.

Since cause and the symptoms of the painful joint conditions in leg and arthritis finger are almost the same, their treatment is in general the same. The treatment includes anti-inflammatory medications, ice and heat treatment, diet adjustments that are joint supporting foods, supplements, weight control and exercise.

Conventional medicine has zilch or almost nothing to offer, and the best medicational attempt is use of a drug Pentoxifylline, which not surprisingly carries undesirable side effects that are worse than the burning leg pain, such as extreme diziness and vomiting. Because the drug is useless, hardly providing any leg pain relief, and for lack of nothing better, most people reluctantly go for the ordeal of surgery, unaware that there is an effective natural solution.

Treatment:

- Exercise: Exercising is probably the last thing you want to do while in pain but is extremely beneficial for sciatica pain. Exercise loosens the muscles surrounding the sciatic nerve.

- Yoga & Stretching: These are also great treatments for sciatic leg pain. Consider enrolling in a yoga class or possibly visiting a physical therapist to teach you some stretches for your pain.

- Medication: NSAIDS, aspirin, and prescription painkillers can be taken for the pain but are only temporarily masking the pain.
