What Causes Soreness In The Leg Joints?
Question: I have developed very sore bones inside my legs joints where they meet with my hips/bottom. Same pain on both sides. If I sit for too long they become stiff. If I do lunges they are really aggravated. The pain is really bad and I would like to know what it is and what can help?
Brief Answer:
Can be muscle spasm or osteoporosis.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The soreness of the bones that you are feeling can be due to muscle spasm or osteoporotic changes in the bones. This can be relieved by taking rest, mild pain killers, oral muscle relaxants and calcium supplements. Doing a hot compress and application of local analgesic gel will also help.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
