When outside forces are applied to bone it has the potential to fail. Fractures occur when bone cannot withstand those outside forces. During repeated efforts (as in running),the muscles become unable to support the skeleton during impact as the foot strikes the ground, the load is transferred to the bone.

As the loading surpasses the capacity of the bone to adapt, a fracture develops. The nerve endings that surround bones contain pain fibers and and these fibers become irritated when the bone is broken or bruised.

Most leg pain results from sudden or long-term damage to a bone, muscle, ligament or tendon, but other conditions can also cause leg pain. Vascular disorders, for instance, can cause blood clots in your legs.

Trauma is the most obvious cause of leg pain. Falls, near falls, and twisting injuries can damage bones, muscles, and joints or a combination of all three. Pain from an injury to the back can inflame the sciatic nerve and cause pain that radiates down the leg.
