I am taking diurex right now Doctor: Hi Dear,Welcome to HCM.Understanding your concern. As per your query you have  muscular pain along with sinusitis . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like rheumatic fever , haemarthrosis or seronegative arthritis . Joint swelling can also occur due to injury cyst like baker's cyst . I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist as well as orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order CT scan for sinusitis and also for knee . ENT specialist may prescribe antibiotics like amoxicillin or penicillin along with decongestant or expectorant . Orthopedic surgeon may prescribe anti inflammatory , muscle relaxant or may recommend surgical removal of cyst . Hope your concern has been resolved.Get Well Soon.Best Wishes,Dr. Harry Maheshwari
