What Does Persistent Pain In The Right Knee And Lower Leg Indicate?
I am having persistent pain in my right knee and lower leg. When waking up in the morning and after sitting for long periods I have trouble standing. There is usually some relief after I have walked on it for a moment, but not always. Over the counter pain relievers help at times, but not always. I am significantly overweight and have been diagnosed as a Type 2 Diabetic.

Hello,
Do you have constant pain or is it like radiating from knee to leg? Do you have a fever, chills, rigors associated?
Kindly give us the proper history. If you have radiating pain, then it is sciatica. Maybe you have nerve root irritation due to the bad posture while sitting or sleeping which is causing you all these problems.
Kindly take vitamin B12 tablets for one-month and Neurobion forte once daily after food.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Archana
