I advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon, for diagnosis and treatment.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms neurotropic injections for 10 consecutive days, and diclofinac sodium.
Avoid taking potato, tomato, egg, chicken, and sea foods. Take
more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and protein rich foods.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery.
