Suggest remedy for pain in leg
Patient: Hi, I m a 22 year old female and have increasingly found it painful to get up after squatting or sitting down. It is mostly only painful in my right leg - unsure of whether it s the joints or muscles. Am unsure if it is just a sign of general unhealthiness, but if so, shouldn t the pain be in both legs? I also have quite poor blood circulation - often get chilblains in winter but not sure if this is related in any way. Doctor: hi,thank you for providing the brief history of you.As you have this symptoms I feel this is more of the muscle weakness leading to inflammation in the knee joint. For which we need a thorough clinical examination.Also we may need an x-ray or an MRI depending upon the examination that it is more of a bony issue or soft tissue issue.Most of the pain are due to weakness of the muscles and with simple medication and physical therapy they respond well.In my clinical practice most patients with knee injuries are referred to physical therapy and they respond well with a combination of drug therapy.Regards Jay Indravadan Patel
