What Causes Backache Along With Pain From The Buttocks To The Knees?

I have had back pain in the Lumbar region, likely arthritis, but my right leg is now in pain mostly the T band, but from the butt to the knee and continues to my lower leg. It seems muscular. I am taking Naprosin/Aleve, but does not seem to be helping. Thoughts?

Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to myalgia. I would recommend using anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen three times a day.

I also recommend using anti-inflammatory cream such as Voltargen gel for local application. Heat compresses can also be helpful.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
