What Causes Pain In Calf,hip And Lower Front Ribs?
Hey. For the last few days I have had pain in my calf, hip and lower front ribs and getting sorer each day. It started with pain in my calf and I just thought it was a cramp as I hadn t hurt it but then my hip started to get sore and hard to walk on then the bottom of my ribs at the front. What would this be?
It looks from your details that you are most probably suffering from transient migratory myalgias. Such type of myalgia may occur due to: - Smoking - High blood pressure - Diabetes - Excessive fatigue or exercise - Decreased level of vitamin D - Some medicines like cholesterol lowering medicines (Statins) - Pre-viral /viral illnesses. In my routine OPD, I prescribe some analgesics like aceclofenac 100 mg twice a day which is very helpful. If your problem continue to persist then you may have routine blood examination to rule out the pathology.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mukesh Tiwari, Orthopedic Surgeon
