Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have rapid heart rate and tremor . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like osteoarthritis , rheumatoid arthritis , viral syndrome , side-effect of medicine , in some cases the symptoms also indicate heart disease or kidney failure . I would suggest you to consult general practitioner for proper examination . Doctor may order urine test , blood test , along with physical examination , ECG and check vitals . Doctor may refer you to orthopedic surgeon or cardiologist in case of cardiac problem . For now take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain, take over the counter anti histamine like benadryl twice a day and keep your leg elevated while sleeping .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
