Extremity Pain
Extremity pain refers to pain in the parts of your body beyond your head and torso, including the arms, wrists, hands (upper extremities), legs, ankles, and feet (lower extremities).
The impact of extremity pain can be far reaching, as lower extremity pain can make getting around challenging, while upper extremity pain can make it difficult to perform ordinary tasks like lifting, holding or moving things.
