nothing to worry about
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
Hope this message finds you in good health.
I have gone through your complaints and understand your concern.
First of all,let me congratulate you for maintaining suc a healthy anf fit physique at the age of 71 ! - Definitely Creditable
I generally see many cases like this at my clinic and have found out that such cases are mostly from a nerve or a muscle strain caused unknowingly during the daily routine activities.
The surgery that u have gone through and the screws you have mentioned about,have nothing to do with the present complaints.
It seems a nerve or a tendon around the knee and radiating to the leg has been inflammaed,due to some minor strain during gym or any routine activity.
What needs a mention is that you should not continue to do exercise activities when any such thing has strained. Infact, arest for 4-5 days is highly recommended to get the inflammed tissue to normal.
If its not relieved, a compression bandage,hot fomentation,analgesic tablets and a local analgesic gel may help.
You should eventually get back to normal in coming few days.Nothing to worry about, as long as i am there to help you.
I hope your question has been answered.
Feel free to consult me anytime for follow-up queries. Take care,God bless.
Wish you a healthy life : )
If you do not have any clarifications,you can close the discussion.
Kind Regards..
