15 Causes of Leg Pain You Need to Know

Slipped Discs

Discs are responsible for cushioning bones in your spinal column and protecting them from shocks in daily activities like twisting, lifting, or walking. Due to weakness or injury, this part could be damaged or aggravated, thus causing a prolapsed, herniated, or slipped disc. This results in discomfort and pain in your leg and other body parts. If this condition compresses your spinal nerves, you might also experience pain and numbness along the nerve. [10]
