What Causes Pain In Joints And Muscles Along With Inflammation Of Feet?

hey doc. This is a serious issue and should be taken as such. My mother has been suffering from pain in her joints, muscles and all over her body even feel a slight electric shock sometimes in her knee, ribs and other places. Along with all these she has burning in the bottom of her feet , she has been diagnosed with diabetes and also went to a physical doctor for the pain but none of the pain killers work. Any advice? and please do not say arthritis because its not only her joints it s her muscles.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have pain in joints and muscles along with inflammation of feet. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like arthritis , gout , nerve compression , diabetes or multiple Sclerosis . Sometimes the symptoms you mention in query can also occur due to organ failure like kidney failure or heart failure , gout . If condition doesn't get well then consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination. Doctor may order blood test , urine test , CT scan or MRI along with physical examination to confirm the diagnosis . Doctor may prescribe methotrexate , anti inflammatory , allopurinoll , gabapentin and recommend physical therapy . I would suggest you to lower your salt consumption , apply warm compresses on entire leg , keep your feet elevated while sleeping and take muscle relaxants like orthodox MR . Doctor may also refer you to allergy specialist for allergy problem or to nephrologist in case of kidney problem .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
