What Should I Do About Pain in the Leg Bend Tendons?

There are many causes of pain in the back of the leg, which feels like the tendons inside are aching, such as muscle tendon strain and popliteal cyst. Different causes require different treatments:

First, Muscle Tendon Strain: Pain in the back of the leg, which feels like the tendons inside are aching, is generally caused by hamstring strain, mainly due to overexertion or falls during exercise. Cold compress therapy should be applied within 24 hours to reduce edema, and hot compress therapy can be applied after 24 hours to promote blood circulation. Additionally, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can be taken under medical advice to relieve pain symptoms. Commonly used clinical drugs include Meloxicam Tablets, Diclofenac Sodium Sustained-Release Tablets, and Loxoprofen Sodium Tablets, which have anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. Patients can choose to use these drugs based on their pain level under medical advice. Furthermore, patients can also apply some topical medications to the painful area, such as Diclofenac Diethylamine Emulgel, Piroxicam Liniment, and Xueshan Jinluohan Analgesic Paint Film, which can also help alleviate pain.

Second, Popliteal Cyst: It is mostly caused by prolonged sitting, standing, or walking. Besides the pain in the back of the leg that feels like the tendons inside are aching, symptoms such as joint stiffness may also appear. If patients experience the above symptoms, they should seek medical attention promptly. The doctor will decide on conservative treatment or surgical treatment based on the patient's condition. Besides, patients should also rest adequately and avoid overexertion.
