“Does laser therapy work for leg pain?”
I've been experiencing very bad leg pain and I'm only 26 years old. I think this has to do with an arterial blockage. If it is, can this be treated with lasers or would I need surgery?

First things first. See a doctor and find out what the problem actually is. Probably will do some tests. After that the doctor will discuss treatment options with you.

Leg pain can be caused by many different reasons, including muscular, vascular and neurological reasons as well as others. You need to see a doctor to get a proper work up to figure out the best treatments.
Not an orthopedic surgery issue - I would refer to a vascular surgeon for advice.
Arterial injury is a limb threatening situation. You need a thorough medical assessment for this promptly. Laser therapies have no documented benefit for arterial causes of pain.
