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.
This morning I had sudden pain in my left leg when walking across the room. Since then, there is pain in the calf and top of the foot. I can walk, but it is painful. Range of motion seems ok. I take tramadol for stenosis, but it doesn t seem to do anything for this additional pain. I ve used heating pads on the areas. Will this go away on its own, or do I need to see a doctor? If so, what specialty? Thank you
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You can take Diclofenac and paracetamol combination 2 times a day for five days. You can take Pantoprazole twice a day for five days. Apply Diclofenac spray at pain site 2-3 times in a day apply warm water bag application at pain site 2-3 times in a day. Consult physician if not subside do all the blood test if he advised.
