Suggest Remedies For Pain In The Legs

default
Posted on Thu, 21 Dec 2017
Question: I have a pain in my leg around the inside of knee and it can be difficult to bend my knee very far when I do a lot of exercise - say bike 20 km - also standing makes it worse. I think I did have this problem for years in that leg but it is getting much worse. I was just diagnosed with low risk prostate cancer and wonder if it has spread to my leg bone.

The pain is most noticable at night in bed. I have lost quite a bit of weight lately but I have been on a diet as well

thanks XXXXXXX
