What Is The Treatment For Indigestion,back Pain,pain And Stiffness In The Legs Along With Shortness Of Breath?
I have been experiencing my knees swelling on and off for about a year, started with one now both, the swelling goes down the front of the leg, my legs are very stiff does not go down even after rest, there s pain on the side of my knees the bone feels like a bruise if I press it and discomfort if I sit crossed leg and pain and stiffness when I try to straighten my legs after sitting crossed leg. it stays like this for a week or two, goes away for a while then out of no where returns a little worse everytime. This time round I have been feeling like I have indigestion burn in my chest, lower back pain, and a little very little short of breath even though I am lying down and had no physical activity..maybe you can help...the legs are tight behind my knee.
Experiencing swelling of knees is indicating for inflammation inside knee joint, most probably due to: - arthritis - trauma (recent injury)
Further evaluation by rheumatologist and orthopedist is needed together with X-ray of the knee.
The feeling of indigestion burn in your chest is indicating : - gastritis - GERD
for which specific treatment is needed: - PPIs (omeprazole, pantoprazole) - antacids - diet/lifestyle changes. - avoid NSAIDs (e.g. ibuprofen, aspirin, diclophenac, etc) that can aggravate your symptoms.
Hope it helped!
