What Causes Joints Pain And Rashes On The Calf Muscle And Knee?
I am a 50 year old male. Weight: 185 lbs.Ive got some red bums showing up on my leg on the left side of my body. The bumps are on my calf muscle, behind the knee, and like a rash in a couple spots above the knee on top of my left leg. Yesterday I ached like I had the flu and the joints seem to be aching more so over the past couple days. Any ideas about what may be happening?

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to a viral infection.
I recommend using anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen.
I also recommend to use calmine lotion for local application.
I suggest you to drink liquids and rest.
