How Can chronic Leg Pain Be Treated?
I have been having leg aches for 5 days now. It is a deep ache. aspirin does not help. I had gastric sleeve a yr ago . I am no longer diabetic. I take all of my vitamins. I have tried salt, water, potassium. Still no relief. It kept me awake last night. It occurs all too. What should I do

Hello,
As the intake of vitamins is going on and diabetes is absent, 5 days onset can be considered as non-specific at first instance.
Primary relief with local application of heating pad, good coverage of pain with anti-inflammatory as Aleve or else to be consumed every 4-6 hourly as per the score of pain.
Later on, if required may need a consultation with your doc for discussing the need for Doppler ultrasound of both lower limbs.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
