What Causes Pain In Knees And Leg?
May be generalised osteoarthritis.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
I'm Dr. Sudhir Kumar,
After going through your query I concluded that you may be suffering from generalized osteoarthritis of joints mainly osteoarthritis of knee joints. For confirmation of it I will advise you get X -ray both knee joints in standing. Till then you can take empirical treatment analgesic(diclofenac slow release tablets) for pain relief , Diacerine and glucasamine sulfate. Alprazolam at bed time is advised to relieve your anxiety.You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it.
I will advise following investigation to rule out other causes:-
1.T3,T4,TSH to rule out hypothyroidism.
2. Rheumatoid factor test to rule out rheumatoid arthritis.
3.Vitamin B-12 and Vitamin D to rule out vitamin deficiencies.
Hope I have answered your query.
If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
Wishing you good health.
Take care.

Generalised osteoarthritis & lumber spondylosis
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back,
After going through your query and follow up query I concluded that you may be suffering from generalized osteoarthritis of joints mainly osteoarthritis of knee jointsand lumbar spondylosis with sciatica. You have not mentioned about X- ray reports, I think you may be having osteoarthritic changes in them. You have sciatic radiation further indicating possibility of lumbar spondylosis( degerative spine changes). I think medicines discussed in previous discussion will benefit you. For relief of sciatic radiation mecobalamine can be added. As your muscle hurt to touch and pain at multiple sites so I also think you may be suffering from fibromyalgia. Please get MRI lumbar spine to see compression as sciatic is really throbbing. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it.
Hope I have answered your query.
If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.

Hi,
Welcome back,
After going through your query and follow up query I concluded that you may be suffering from generalized osteoarthritis of joints( includes having normal aging changes not necessarily spurs etc) and some element of fibromyalgia. I believe Diacerine , mecobalmine and glucasamine sulfate will be of some benefit in normal aging process also.I think your doctor would have prescribed you treatment of fibromyalgia.You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it.

Hi,

After going through your query and follow up query nothing new diagnosis came in my mind.But I want to know whether touching and massaging of all muscles of body are painful or only calf and thigh muscles are having pain. Please make sure T3,T4,TSH (thyroid function test) and rheumatoid factor test is normal.
