How To Treat Pain And Stiffness In Legs And Hips?

Very stiff and painful legs and hips. Not localised - muscular rather than joint pain. Frees up with walking (I walk constantly in my job) though recurs after resting - even for 5 minutes. Onset approx 12 months ago and worsening. Bought appropriate walking shoes which help immensely, however pain is worsening.

Hello,

Your history is suggestive of stiffness in muscles. The cause of muscular stiffness could be damage to proteins in muscles. I suggest you to consult an orthopedician for clinical assessment and relevant investigations for diagnosis and thus management.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shailja Puri, Pathologist and Microbiologist
