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.
What Causes Inflammation And Pain In Shin And Swelling In The Legs?
My shins are red and painful . I have put hydrocordisone cream on it which helps a little, but it is getting more painful. Could this be a side effect of the severe osteoarthriis I have in my left hip? What else could be causing this. My leg and foot is also swollen....
hi you have red and painful shins which are partly relieved by hydrocortisone cream and swelling in leg and foot. This condition is unlikely to be due to osteoarthritis in hip . It is possible that you may have some medical condition like , hypertension which may be cause of swelling. I would strongly recommend complete medical check up.
