Suggest Remedy For Severe Pain In Thighs And Ankles

Brief Answer:
Possibility of muscle fatigue is there and might take 3 - 5 days to recover

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.

1. Since you confirm participating in dancing, your muscles and ligaments in the thigh and legs might have become stressed and in a state of fatigue.

2. This is due to the increased activity within the muscles after a session of dancing and this releases certain inflammatory chemicals causing pain and discomfort. There can also be spasm of certain muscle groups.

3. Please do not worry and give yourself adequate rest. Taking oral ibuprofen, applying aspercreme and comforting yourself with heat and ice packs is recommended. Ice packs applied for 10 to 15 minutes twice a day over various areas where it hurts will help reduce the pain.

4. Unfortunately you have to bear the pain for about 3 to 5 days. This is the time the muscles will take to recover from the fatigue.

5. Should there be intolerable pain in any particular area then please do not ignore it and consult your doctor at once to look for any ligament injury and you have had a surgery for degenerative ligaments at the left ankle.

6. Please avoid physically stressful dance sessions and stop dancing when you feel any slightest discomfort.

Wish you a quick recovery.

Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.

Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.

Regards,
Dr.Vivek
