Do high heels cause back and leg pain?

They can: If you have vein disease in your legs, you can have them treated and wear fun colorful support stockings after to maintain vein health and good circulation. Support stockings have helped my legs. Wearing high helps can change your posture and add strain with prolonged standing. See a orthopedic doc for your back and a phlebologist for your legs. Our nurses wear heels with support stockings- helps.

Possible: Your pain could be as a result of many different things. A thorough history and physical exam and possibly some laboratory and radiology exams are needed to determine the exact cause.
