About Aching (the broader symptom)
This summary describes Aching, the broader symptom. Unilateral Aching is a more specific topic.
Aching is a word people use for dull pain, and MedlinePlus lists "Aches - leg" as an alternate name on its leg pain page. That page says leg pain is a common problem and that it can be due to a cramp, an injury, or another cause. Aching in a muscle, a joint, or the whole body is a different topic from pain that is limited to the leg.

When to seek care
MedlinePlus says to contact a health care provider if the painful leg is swollen or red, you have a fever, the pain gets worse when you walk or exercise and improves with rest, or the leg is black and blue, cold, or pale. Also contact a provider if self-care steps do not help, and do not stop or change a medicine that may be causing leg pain without talking to that provider.
