A member asked:
Why does my whole leg ache from osteoarthritis in my knees?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard to say: Typically osteoarthritis in the knee causes pain limited to the knee itself and not really the whole leg. It may just be a referred pain for the knee or you may have something else causing pain in the leg in addition to your osteoarthritis. Consider being checked. Thank you.
