Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX Welcome to HCM..

I've gone through your query and understand your concern..

Now can you let me know a bit more about this pain so that I can guide you in a more specific way..

'Right leg behind the knee' you've said- do you mean the bony part or the soft muscular part or is it a bit below around the calf region ??

Is the pain persistent through out the day or any specific time eg. after getting up from bed ?

Any history of trauma to the leg ? any past history of any kind of surgery ?

Is there any swelling/discoloration/redness/heat over the area ?

Is the area painful to touch also ?

What worsens/relieves the pain ?

Any specific investigation done for this so far ? Since you've mentioned that you've visited a doctor I'd like to know was this any Orthopedician ?

How is your sugar status lately ?

Your occupation history- does it involve any prolong standing ?


Please provide all these details so that I can guide you further..

Meanwhile, since sitting on XXXXXXX style toilets' already creating more trouble, then I'd suggest to use Western style toilets to avoid any further complication..

You can simply try Tab PARACETAMOL 650 mg three times a day after food for next 2-3 days , it'll give you the symptomatic relief..

Avoid putting any pressure on that right leg for the time being..

Awaiting for your response..

Take Care
Kind Regards
