How To Treat Pain In The Hip And Knee Joint?

Hi, I had a vascular problem with my arm. The surgeon removed a veian from my leg and did a branchail to ulner bypass to try to savethe arm, ehich later had to be amputated. Now I have quite a bit of pain in the hip and knee joint of that leg, especially when walking. Is there anything that I can do to alleviate the pain and help me with walking?

The pain you are having right now may be due to straining of some sort of soft tissues,nerves.Avoid strenous work,take adequate rest.
Physiotherapy,analgesics,anti-inflammatory drugs should help.
