Suggest Treatment For Right Leg Pain

My husband went to doctor because of pain in his right thigh knee and lower leg and top of foot hurting. They gave him a steroid shot and it was instant relief. But the pain return within a couple days. He hasn t hurt or feel to injure his right leg. No other pain but in right leg.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, steroid is gold treatment if this is the pain due to some inflammation but side effect of drug is bad one, underlying cause of pain is matter of concern, in my opinion pain need to be managed with NSAID only instead of steroid hope this information helps.
I find this answer helpful
