What Causes Thigh, Feet And Back Pain With Weakness?

doctor, I am 65 years old lady with arthritis and osteoporosis. my weight is 78 kgs. for the past 1 month I have weak thighs and pain in the thighs and back and feet. I can see the veins pink and blue coloured with a mole like spot on it. but these veins are very thin. what is my problem actually ? can I take ecospirin if my problem is lack of blood circulation ? because of my osteoarthritis pains, I don t do any exercise except doing my household work.

Hi! I understood your problem, first of all not doing exercises is not at all solution to your problem, balance of rest and exercise is the key to your treatment. Since you are getting pain in your thigh, feet and back as well , you need to get an x-ray of lumbar spine done, with information you have provided me, i suspect some problem at L1-L2 Levels, L5 -S1 , without clinical examintion and x-ray it cannot be diagnosed. Meanwhile these are some simple things which would help you to alleviate your pain.
1.hot fomentation at back
2.take calcium rich diet
3.try to reduce your weight
4.regular walking, with lumbar support belts on.
5.keep two pillows below your foot, such that your legs are raised while you sleep at night.
