What Causes a Sudden Sharp Pain in One Leg?
The support structures of the human leg include the thighbone and the two bones of the lower leg, which interconnect with numerous muscles, tendons and ligaments to enable the complex movements of the lower limbs. Although the legs possess innate strength and sturdiness, leg injuries of varying severity commonly occur. Leg injuries typically trigger sudden, sharp pain at the injury site. Physical examination and X-rays or other imaging studies help doctors determine the nature of the injury and appropriate treatment.
