What Causes Recurrent Pain In The Calf And Thighs Despite Taking Ibuprofen?

I developed a chest cold starting last Thursday or Friday. I may have a mild fever, but nothing serious. What s really bothering me, is that the muscles in my thighs and calves are super painful since Sunday night. Have taken ibuprofen and acetominophen for some relief, and taken hot baths and showers. Also massagingmy legs, doing some gentle yoga, raising legs with help of some wedges. These offer some relief, but the pain comes back again.

Hello

I have studied your case.

Fever with thigh pain suggests possibility of viral illness.

You may need to investigate in form of complete blood count, ESR, CRP.
You may need clinical examination also to confirm diagnosis.
MRI may help to diagnose any structural abnormality.

Till time you can start medication and antibiotic consulting your treating doctor.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
