Suggest treatment for stiffness in the lower body
Patient: I have a hard time walking at times. I have to concentrate to get my legs to move and I am stiff from the waist down. I have bursitis in my hip and osteoarthritis in my back. when my walking starts to act up I am shaking. my arms start to swing around. I have been doing this for 9 years since I had an accident. I have had many test done but no one can figure it out. Can you help? Doctor: Hello,  As a first line management, you can take analgesics like aceclofenac or tramadol for pain relief.  If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopaedic 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
