Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My leg is a little swollen and red. It is sore to the touch. I was sick in bed this weekend with a horrendous headache. I took several doses of Excedrin throughout the day and night on Saturday. Finally, late Sat. evening I thought perhaps I was dehydrated and started to drink more water. By Sun. morning my headache was only slight. Thoughts?
