Have Very Severe Pain In The Knee
I have a terrible pain in the knee. The pain is also in the back of my leg. When I sit down and then get up is very painful. I noticed a small vein on the inner area of my knee. Right above it. I have taken Motrin, aleve and others. It really does not help. Due to bad weather in my area I have not seen my doctor. I am 65 y o. On WEIGHT WATCHERS. So I eat healthy. Blood pressure is ok. No diabetes. Hx of varicose veins from mother's side.
I have also been having heart palpitations. Never had it before.
I take all kind of vitamins. Active everyday.

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe it may be the starting of the varicose veins,or rheumatoid arthritis,or arthritis, or muscle pain.
I advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. You may need to have M.R.I. for diagnosis.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms neurotropic injections for 10 consecutive days,and then periodically till the pain is under the control.
Avoid taking potato, other tubers, tomato, egg, chicken, and sea foods till the pains are completely controlled.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
