General Practitioner in Lahore - Dr. Sirhan Zaib

Can you please tell if the pain is mostly in your leg, and if so is it on both sides or just one? Also is there any swelling or ski changes of leg? Does it hurt when you passively turn your feet towards your shin?

Do you have any other conplaint besides leg pain?

I would recommend going for a lower limb doppler ultrasound because it might ne due to peripheral or illiac artery disease, though the chances of that hapoening in young people is less. However since it is a potentially serious disease it needs to be probed.

For the time being you may take painkillers... Tab synflex, uptill 1 tab twice a day depending on how effective is your pain relief. You may use cap risek 20mg with if you have complaint of dyspepsia or indigestion, but if you are taking painkiller for 4-5 days you may skip it.
Kindly share you doppler ultrasound results

Want to ask some questions, Tell me exact site of pain? Do you have any other issues, pain anywhere else? Is your mattress levelled or it's rough or dirty? Do you have any other issues such as any Urinary issues or diabetes etc??
Things you can do for now.
1. Clean your bed before sleeping.
2. Take warm shower before bed.
3. Dip your legs in lukewarm water with Epsom salt (Lahori namak).
4. Take Tb Voren 1+0+1, Tb Nuberol forte 1+0+1.
5. Take Qalsan D 1+0+0, Surbex Z or any multivitamin supplements.

For how many days?

4 years ago

General Practitioner in Karachi - Dr. Maheen Altaf

Pain killers for 7 days maximum.
Supplements can be continued till you feel better. At least a month. It has 30 cap in a bottle. So you can take it daily or as per need as it doesnt do any harm.
Secondly you can not use any supplements life long so try to improve your diet. Take a glass of milk every night. Take nutritious diet, prefer healthy foods over junk food. Because nutritions stored in body before 25 yes of age remains for life.

Hie..!! please tell if you did any unusual activity or work out?? Also is your pain associated with any other problem?? like swelling anywhere in the leg, any previous trauma?? Also mention the origin of the pain and have u noticed any skin changes?? does it increase or decrease with mobility?? what are the relieving and aggravating factors?? please answer all these questions.

meanwhile u can take Brufen 400mg every 6 hourly for the pain or Naproxen 550mg 12 hourly.. alongwith Omeprazole 40mg once daily , half an hour before the breakfast, in order to avoid gastritis associated with Naproxen intake.

If nothing such is associated then it could be muscular.. You can have Nuberol Forte 1 tablet every 12 hourly.. this should relieve you if it's muscular.
