• Leg Pain:
General leg pain can come from muscle strain, nerve compression, or circulation issues. It can affect mobility and daily life.

• Varicose Veins:
Swollen, twisted veins under the skin caused by poor blood flow. They usually appear on the legs and can cause heaviness, swelling, and aching pain.
• Arthritis:
A condition that causes inflammation and stiffness in the joints. Common types include osteoarthritis (wear and tear of joints) and rheumatoid arthritis (autoimmune inflammation).
