What Causes Leg Pain After Hiking?

I have had small lumps in my legs for a few years and was told they are benign and related to veins. They have a slight blue tint. About a month ago after a several hikes in the snow my leg started hurting and walking is difficult. A couple of the bumps are painful.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi,

It’s simple musculoskeletal pain and will settle by itself. As of now, take adequate bed rest and take analgesics like Acetaminophen or Tramadol for pain relief.

If symptoms persist, better to consult an orthopedician and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain,
