Suggest Treatment For Fatigue And Leg Pain After Taking Ibuprofen
Question: 2 days ago I was at the grocery store and started feeling weak. Within 5 minutes I was back home with my right shin hurting. I pulled up my pants leg and noticed that I had extremely red dots on my skin. My leg hurt, burned, was hot to the touch and was retaining fluid. I took ibuprofen and put ice packs on it. Since then the red dots have kinda merged together. These red dots are not raised or blisters. Any ideas?
