Posted on Tue, 18 Aug 2015
Question: Yes, a few nights a go I thought I was getting the flu. I had I bout of vomiting & diarrhea & severe muscle pain. Turns out I really didn't have the flu but the muscle pain has stayed. The pain is gradually going away but I my knees and ankles aren't really swollen but feel like there is a ton of pressure in them when weight bearing. My knees crackle & creak when going from standing to seated position & it is difficult to get from seated to standing. This started Thursday. I am starting to think I should go to the dr.

Brief Answer:
Please provide more information

Detailed Answer:
Hello
I had gone through your question very diligently and I can understand your concern.
Earlier episode of vomiting and diarrhoea might have related to good poisoning or gut infection.

Here I would like further information for proper assessment of the condition.

Since how long you are having knee problem?
Are you having similar complaints in nay other joint ?( what all joint are involved)
Are you having early morning joint stiffness

In my opinion you should first start antiinflammatory pain medication like ibuprofen tablet thwice daily for 5 to 7 days with calcium and multivitamin supplements. Avoid squatting and cross leg sitting.

Please write back to me with all the information I have asked for, so that I will be able to tell you even more precisely.
wish you good health.
