Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I was washing down a wall and suddenly I could not straighten up. The pain is so severe. I cannot get up off chair or bed without a walker. It hurts to try to roll over in bed. I had to have my husband help me get dressed in the morning because I could not lift my leg without it hurting. Went to ER, they gave me dose of pain medicine but it did not touch the pain. I have been taking muscle relaxers and ibuprofen but nothing is helping. What could it be.

What Causes Severe Pain In The Leg Muscles?
Hello, We have to rule out possible causes like a peripheral vascular disease. As first-line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief. If symptoms persist better to consult a general surgeon and plan for an arterial Doppler. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
