Hello, I am online on behalf of my brother, he has been in a lot of pain in his knees, ankles, and toes underneath joining to the foot. He cannot straighten his legs, and the pain has been ongoing for 3 months. The tendons in his legs are very sore. He hasnot had any injury that we know of but has visitied Thailand approximately 5 times. He has had this before a few years ago, however it has come back and for a much longer period. He said he has spasms in the legs as well. He has trouble walking because of the pain in his knees ankles and under his feet near were the toes join. He has been to the Doctors when he initially got this and again this time however they do not know what is causing this. I would appreciate if you could assist thankyou regards

Hi Brenda Davies,

Thank you for posting your query on Healthcare Magic.

Your brother might be having a chronic problem of large and small joints.

The most common problem which may present like this is rheumatic joint problems such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and others.

I advise your brother to consult the orthopedician for physical examination and investigations.

Rheumatologist referral may be required.

Hope I have answered your query.

Regards.
