How Can Pain And Stiffness In The Legs And Shoulders Be Treated?

Good evening, I am wondering if I have a form of arthritis or such. I have muscle pain in my legs, wrists, neck, shoulders. I am very stiff in my legs but not sore, getting up off the floor is a whole new adventure these days. I have tingling in 2 of my fingers on my left hand. I feel great otherwise, appetite is fine, blood pressure is a little high 145 area or lower most of the time. I have had this for about 3-4 months now. My arms are very limited in how far I can raise them and how much I can lift, however I walk quite a bite during the day and my legs are okay. I sleep well, but have to take 200 mgs of Advil at night and 400 in the mornings to manage the pain.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

It would have been of help if mentioned age, gender and occupation details. There are several reasons why your bones and joints hurt
1. Vitamin and mineral deficiency vitamin D and Calcium
2. Infections
3. Immune reactions of various types
4. Aging osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis or of polymyalgia rheumatica
Your symptoms need proper evaluation and diagnosis. Taking Advil on your own could hurt your kidneys in the long run and make your problems worse.



Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Arun S Dathan
