Nighttime pain on the outside of the hip can worsen when body weight presses on the greater trochanter and nearby soft tissues. The upper leg may also fall forward and rotate the pelvis. Compression and sustained positioning can aggravate an already sensitive bursa or, more commonly, the gluteal tendons. This guide...
Flat feet in adults means the medial arch is low or absent during standing, so much of the sole contacts the floor. Many people have no symptoms. Others experience foot or ankle fatigue and pain, sometimes with excessive pronation. Arch-support insoles may improve comfort for some people, but they do...
Nighttime leg cramps are sudden, painful, involuntary muscle contractions, usually in the calf or foot, that occur during sleep or rest and last from several seconds to several minutes. The exact cause is often unknown. Muscle fatigue, pregnancy, age, some medicines, and certain health conditions may contribute. Gentle stretching usually...
Sciatica describes pain that travels through the buttock and down a leg, usually because a lumbar or sacral nerve root contributing to the sciatic nerve is irritated or compressed. A herniated lumbar disk is a common cause. Many cases improve without surgery, but new bladder, bowel, saddle-sensation, or worsening weakness...
Lumbar radiculopathy occurs when a nerve root in the lower spine is irritated or compressed, often by a herniated disk or age-related narrowing. It can cause pain that travels into a leg, with tingling, numbness, or weakness. Many cases improve without surgery, but new bladder, bowel, saddle-sensation, or rapidly worsening...
Pain between the shoulder blades often comes from muscles, joints, or the neck and may be aggravated by sustained sitting or repetitive arm work. It can also be referred from the chest or internal organs. Because location alone cannot identify the cause, it is important to recognize chest, breathing, neurologic,...
Pain beneath the toes or ball of the foot is often described as metatarsalgia, a symptom involving the area beneath the metatarsal heads. Morton’s neuroma, sesamoid injury, arthritis, and a stress fracture can cause overlapping symptoms, so treatment depends on the diagnosis. This guide compares four possible causes, reviews factors associated...
Shoulder pain can feel worse at night because sleeping positions place pressure on sensitive tissue or leave the arm unsupported. Rotator cuff disorders and frozen shoulder are among the possible causes, but nighttime pain alone does not identify the condition. This guide reviews common causes, sleeping positions that may reduce discomfort,...
For common nonspecific low back pain, evidence does not support a back brace as a cure or as routine prevention. Some people find that a brace briefly reduces discomfort during a painful flare, but guidance generally emphasizes staying active rather than prolonged rest. This article reviews the evidence and situations...
Heel pain during the first steps out of bed is a common pattern in plantar fasciitis, an irritation of the band of tissue along the sole of the foot. The pain often eases after a few minutes of walking. Stretching and appropriate foot support may help, but other conditions can...
Cervicalgia is the medical term for neck pain, one of the most common musculoskeletal problems. About half of all people experience it at some point in life. It is often related to muscle tension from sustained posture, screen-based work, or stress, and many episodes settle within a few weeks. Regular...
Achilles tendinopathy usually develops when tendon loading exceeds its capacity over time. Complete rest rarely restores that capacity; treatment generally uses gradual, controlled loading. Eccentric heel-lowering exercises are well studied, but they are one of several effective loading approaches. This guide explains midportion and insertional pain, exercise differences, footwear and...
Tailbone pain, also called coccydynia, affects the very base of the spine and is often worse when sitting down or standing up. It may follow a fall onto the buttocks, childbirth or prolonged sitting on a hard surface. Symptoms can improve over weeks or months with measures such as reducing...
Plantar fasciitis is irritation and overuse of the plantar fascia, the band of connective tissue that links the heel bone to the toes and supports the arch. It affects about 10% of people during their lifetime and is recognized by sharp heel pain with the first steps in the morning....
