Why leg pain gets worse the longer you walk or stand is usually misunderstood. Most people are told it’s because they’re weak, tight, or just getting older, but that’s often not the real reason. The way your leg pain changes with walking, standing, or sitting gives important clues that many people overlook. In this video, Dr. Kevin Wafer, a Houston chiropractor, explains why leg pain with walking or standing follows certain patterns and what those patterns actually mean. You’ll learn how to tell if your pain feels better when you sit, gets worse the more you move, or slowly builds the longer you’re on your feet, and why those differences matter. Once you understand these patterns, you can stop guessing and avoid doing exercises or treatments that may be making things worse. This video walks you through it in a clear, practical way and helps you figure out whether problems like lumbar stenosis could be playing a role in your leg pain.
