Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Do you have any other ailments like diabetes or hypothyroidism?

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

There are two issues as follows;

First is your knee pain. It seems to be early degenerative changes. For that, I suggest you do quadriceps and hamstrings strengthening exercises twice daily for 15 to 20 minutes and take medications.

The second is a burning sensation in the soles and feet. It could be due to diabetes, hypothyroidism, or spine problem. So, I suggest you take tablet Altraday (Aceclofenac and Rabeprazole) once daily and tablet Pregabalin 75 mg once daily. It would help if you do the following blood investigations CBC (complete blood count), ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate), CRP (C-reactive protein), TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone), HbA1C (glycated hemoglobin), and RBS (random blood sugar).

Regards.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

As I have said before, it could be a systemic problem responsible for your burning pain. And your report shows that you have hypothyroidism (attachments removed to protect the patient’s identity). So, I suggest you consult an endocrinologist and start medications for that. From my side, continue the same medicines for ten days and review with me after that.

Thanks and regards.

Hello doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

The burning sensation in my feet snd sole is fine after taking these medicines for ten days. But my knee problem is as it is, and also pain in my legs is continuing.

Thank you.

Answered by Dr. Anuj Gupta

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

As I told you, the knee pain is due to degenerative changes. It would help if you do the exercises mentioned above regularly, and it may take around four to six months to subside substantially.

Take care.
