Leg pain: If you have pain issues in your legs, there are several causes your physician will consider. At age 58, you may have osteoarthritis that is causing pain in your joints. If you have pain radiating down your leg to your calf, you may have leg pain (sciatica) that is caused by a compressed nerve in your spine. Visit your physician for a physical exam to diagnose and treat your pain. Get well!
