What can your legs reveal about your health?

8. Restless Legs

If you constantly feel the need to move your legs, especially at night, you may have Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS), which is often linked to iron deficiency or nerve problems.

9. Leg Pain While Walking

Pain that eases when you stop walking might be a warning sign of clogged arteries in the legs (PAD), which also raises the risk of heart disease.

10. Swollen Joints

If your knees, ankles, or hips are stiff and swollen, it could be arthritis, gout, or another inflammatory condition.

Final Thoughts

Your legs are like a mirror of your body’s inner health. Paying attention to changes—whether it’s swelling, pain, skin differences, or unusual sensations—can help you catch potential health problems early. Never ignore what your legs are trying to tell you, and always check with a doctor if something feels unusual. 🩺
