Hi My father is in his 60 s and suffering badly from pains in his legs, he is on a waiting list for steriod inections to help relieve the pain but until that date comes about his in lots of pain is there anything else he can do until the appt comes ? :(
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The leg pains can be related to many medical conditions. Beside steroid shots, your father can use other alternative treatment. I suggest to try painkillers such as Ibuprofen 400 mg to relieve the pain. It can be taken three times a day.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
