Details of your pain are needed to reach a diagnosis. Atherosclerosis may cause leg pain only when there is decrease in blood supply of leg. You should definitely stop smoking. Causes of leg pain can be: 1. CRPS or complex regional pain syndrome: Characterised by disproportionate pain, swelling, discoloration, abnormal sensation in leg. There could be a history of trauma to leg. This is managed by special medications and intervention if needed. 2. Peripheral Vascular Disease: In this condition blood supply of leg is affected. Leg will be colder as compared to other leg. This condition requires medication and revascularization surgery if needed. Pain in this condition can be controlled by lumbar sympathetic block done in operation theatre under X ray guidance by pain specialist. 3. Diabetic Neuropathy or other neuropathic pain: There could be disease of nerves causing neuropathic pain, generally both legs are affected and there will be tingling sensation or pins and needles sensation in legs. If the leg pain is accompanied by back pain the cause could be spine problems like disc bulge or prolapse, Facet arthropathy, Piriformis syndrome, etc. The treatment plan will depend on the diagnosis. Consult a pain specialist for diagnosis and treatment.
