I have been having pain above the thigh joint after recovering from COVID-19. Please advise.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

This pain can be a nerve pain or muscle pain as you have mentioned that you have lower back pain and leg pain, so most probably associated with the nerve. May be due to long-term hospitalized and sleeping in the same position.

1. Can you please tell me what medicines you are currently taking?
2. Is this the first time you have this pain?
3. Since when are you facing this problem?
4. Is there any swelling or redness on the leg?

• You can use Diclofenac gel or spray on your back where you have pain two to three times a day for five days

Please answer so I can prescribe you medicine accordingly.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

The gel will not be effective in such cases because you have a long history of pain. It would help if you went for an examination such as an ultrasound or x-ray to check what is the reason for pain. Other it is possible due to age-related arthritis. As you mentioned, you dr ortho helped you previously. The report you attached is related to Corona treatment, and I have checked. Everything seems to be good. If you do not have Corona symptoms now and just pain, I would recommend you to take,

• Tablet Pantop (Pantoprazole) 40 mg once a day before meal.
• Tablet Diclofenac 50 mg twice a day after meal.
• Take tablet Calcium and Vitamin D 500 mg once a day after meal. Take all three tablets for five days if your pain subsides then will go for further treatment.

If not, testing and examination is a must.

Please let me know if anything else.
