Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have muscle and joint pain in forearms and legs. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like gout , rheumatoid arthritis , medication reaction or side-effect , acute sinusitis , viral syndrome or mononucleosis. I would suggest you to consult general practitioner for proper examination . Doctor may order blood test , urine test to check uric acid or take history . Doctor may prescribe anti viral like acyclovir , anti inflammatory , anti pyretic or refer you to orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . For now take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain and drink plenty of water . Fruit and vegetables and pure water should be consumed in abundance. At least 30 minutes of brisk cardio exercise a day is recommended. Also avoiding processed foods, fried foods, red meat, carbonated beverages or processed sugars. Lower your salt consumption and drink glass of warm milk with half spoon of turmeric powder .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
