I feel heaviness in my legs whenever I walk a few steps. Why?
Hello doctor,
I am a 78-year-old male. My weight is 80 kg approximately, amd my height is 5.5 feet. During the last three months, I am facing difficulty in walking. This started one day after taking a walk, my feet swelled near the ankle area, this subsided after taking rest. However, after that incident, when I stand on my feet and walk a few steps, I feel weight increasing from my foot to ankle and then to calf/knee. I feel the weight on my feet and I am unable to walk further. I also feel dizziness and weakness when I stand. The problem is mainly on the right side than the left.

What causes pain in the shoulder blade that arises only during the night?
Hi doctor,
I am a 40-year-old male. I do not smoke but drink occasionally. I do not have hypertension or diabetes. I am 5'5 feet in height and weigh 68 kg. I used to work out in the gym a few years back and stopped due to the pandemic. After working out in a park for six months, I think I sprained my right shoulder blade muscle. The impact was not that much at the initial moment. But, after a few weeks and months, I would feel pain when I used to press on my right shoulder blade muscle. On a grade of 1 to 10, the pain was 3. The last month-end, I had been on a motorbike trip of around 1000 km with sufficient break times in between. After returning home from this trip, I started having symptoms such as neck pain during nighttime and right shoulder blade muscle pain at night, which was 9 out of 10. The pain is also on the border of the right scapula muscle and a little on the actual scapula bone muscle. The pain feels like it is occurring internally. I could not sleep at night due to this pain. I have chills but no fever. There is no swelling or redness in that shoulder blade area. Although, I feel a little weakness in the right arm due to this pain. I have no symptoms during the day. I consulted an orthopedic specialist and attached the consultation details. I went through eight physiotherapy sessions with stretching exercises and strengthening machine therapy. What is the diagnosis of my pain? I have never experienced anything like this before. As I used to work out in the gym, I know the post-workout pain, which used to go away after the muscle recovery. But this pain is not going away. I wanted to know if the prescribed treatment plan is correct. Is this a degenerative disease? Will it worsen and leave permanent weakness and pain? Is this a serious health condition that I need to worry about? Kindly suggest.
