What Causes Painful Stiffness In The Leg Below The Knee Every Time I Take HCQS-200?

Hi doc, I am here to ask you a crucial question about medicine. I am an arthritis patient. My doc had prescribed me with HCQS200 medicine for that but whenever I take the meds, the bone of my leg (from below the knee till the toe) gets straightened during my sleep and it hurts a lot. So I stopped taking the medicine. Now my question is, will it be a problem in near future for me if I never again take the medicine?

Hello,

Since HCQS-200 is causing you adverse effect you have stopped taking it. It should not be a problem, if you switch to a healthy lifestyle. Symptoms of arthritis can be kept under control with symptomatic treatment. Arthritis is commonly caused by autoimmune diseases. You are suggested to be tested for it by your local doctor.

Taking omega 3 fatty acids, probiotics, including turmeric in the regular diet or taking it as capsules, taking green tea will help the symptoms be under control and you can be comfortable. If obese or overweight, you are suggested to do regular walking and exercises. It will help better circulation and help joints stay lubricated and flexible.

Stretching exercises are helpful. You can take NSAIDs, naproxen one stat when needed to help reduce pain and inflammation. Get clinically examined by a local doctor you may need prescription medicines like corticosteroids, DMARDs, hyaluronic acid therapy, etc. Surgery is only recommended if the conservative treatment and therapy being given does not work.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
