Suggest Remedy For Stiffness In Knee, Hip And Back.
I am having severe soreness and stiffness in my knees, hips, elbows, back and neck. It originally started in just one knee and one elbow. It has now progressed to the other areas stated above. I have gluten intolerance, osteopenia, and migraines. I recently was placed on a low dose blood pressure medication for high blood pressure. I also recently stopped taking Trokendi 200 mg and Vyvanse. The soreness and stiffness are so bad that it is making it hard for me to go up and down stairs that I have in my home.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have stiffness in knee, hip and back . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like sprains and strains , tendinitis , arthritis , gout, inflamed bursae or chondromalacia . But in your case the symptoms are probably due to sciatica , disc problem or compressed fracture .I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order x-ray , CT scan , and physical examination by asking you to do certain movements . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant , anti inflammatory , vitamin supplements along with stretching exercises and physical therapy . For now take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain , apply warm compresses on back hip and knee and reduce your weight if your are overweight .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
