A member asked:

What can cause pain in one lower leg when i'm dancing?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Leg pain: You may have a simple muscle tear or strain that is more evident when you are dancing. Shin splints can also be painful on the front of the shin and may hurt more when dancing.The most serious thing would be a blood clot and that would be very tender and should be evaluated by a physician.
