Suggest cause for recurring joint pain with difficulty in walking
Patient: I have been suffering from severe joint pains now for a month and a half.it all seemed to start after a virus I had for weeks.No matter the medication I take it just masks the problem and it returns. In the morning when I get up I have problems getting out of bed and walking. Some times even the bottom of my feet ache.Can you give me any ideas what I may be dealing with? This is starting to affect my daily life big time! Doctor: Hello,  Consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated. You can take analgesics like Ibuprofen or Diclofenac for pain relief. If symptoms persist you can consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.   Take care   Regards,  Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
