Pain while walking or after a long distance
Pain that appears after a few minutes or only after longer distances can vary with the body region involved, terrain, hills, pace and fatigue.
Where does pain appear while walking?
The distance before symptoms start, terrain and recovery afterward are useful clues.
Hip or groin pain while walking
Explore hip pain and hip osteoarthritis.
Knee pain during or after walking
The knee may become painful with distance, hills or terrain changes.
Foot, heel or ankle pain
See foot and ankle pain, plantar heel pain and Achilles tendinopathy.
Back or leg pain with prolonged walking
Distance, terrain and hills all matter
Pain that predictably appears after a similar distance can tell us about your current capacity. Uphill, downhill, uneven ground and pace all change the demand.
When should you consult?
An assessment is useful if your walking distance is shrinking, symptoms persist, or pain limits work, recreation or travel.
