Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Overall tightness in right side of the body. Especially tightness in the right knee, above knee cap leading to pain front and top of knee. Also tightness in the groin both sides. Unable to feel the groin stretch on inside of the leg, more of a locking feeling at the upper inner groin and outer hip. Tight hamstring only on right side. I do not feel a stretch when stretching right quad but do feel a stretch on the left. Right shoulder/ discomfort and tightness. Tightness in the back lower right side and right hip looks to be slightly lower when standing.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

It may be due to weak muscles, apply Diclofenac ointment on the pain above knee and shoulder, cover it up for 10 minutes, give it hot water therapy, try to slowly stretch your thigh muscles until you feel pain more and relax yourself, repeat it for twice a day. Take Aceclofenac tablet for a day if you have more pain and for shoulder do shoulder exercises at home. After trying these if you still feel the pain after three days, you can go for ultrasound therapy following IFT (interferential therapy). This will surely help you get rid of the problem.

The Probable causes

The probable cause are jerk while running or walking, and sleep distress.

Investigations to be done

Do X-ray for shoulder.

Treatment plan

Do IFT, ultrasound

Preventive measures

Avoid lifting heavy objects and do not bend.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
