Hi i am Dr Ahmed Aly
thanks for using HealthcareMagic site ,
I had gone through your question and understand your concerns ..
In my opinion you may have a kind of arthritis it could be due to gout or rheumatoid . you mentioned taking aleve which is a painkiller with an anti inflammatory action that decreases inflammation in your joints that could cause such pain . do not worry actually that is very common with aging , lack of exercises and obesity .
For my patients i may suggest painkillers , hot massages with topical gels , muscle relaxants , B12 vitamin supplementation , high fluid intake will be effective for most of cases .in some cases we may add steroids if needed .
You should avoid heavy lifting , overweight , vigorous movements , high salt and proteins meals , bad sleeping or sitting postures , standing or walking for a long time and avoid bending your knees for a long time .
You may have some lab investigations like urine analysis , ASOT ( anti strepto lysin o titre ) , Rf ( rheumatoid factor ) , ESR ( erythrocyte sedimentation rate ) and follow them up with your physician for proper evaluation and management .
