Suggest Treatment For Sharp Pain In The Knee With Headache And Dizziness
I m a woman who always has cold feet and hands. My feet are even cold when I wear socks! Also sometimes when I walk I feel a sharp pain from my knee up in either leg (though not both at once). I also believe I have RLS(restless leg syndrome) because when I m sitting my leg always just goes up and down like a sewing machine . I am also sometimes dizzy upon standing and along with dizziness I will sometimes get headaches. I ve had headaches more frequently, maybe once a day (if you count ones that last 30 seconds). I m just mildly concerned because I ve,had cold feet and hands for a long time, however the other things showed up more recently and I was curious.
You need to get your thyroid profile done as these can be symptoms associated with hypothyroidism. Also fasting blood sugars to rule out any possibility of diabetes as well. Otherwise Ferritin levels, B 12 folic acid and D 3 levels may be asked for as well up of RLS and to rule out other associated conditions. Meanwhile Gabapentin or Duloxetine can be used after discussing with your primary care physician.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
