Suggest Remedy For Leg Pains
I am a healthy 31 yr old white female. Recently I have had some chest tightness but after several tests the Dr. said I am ok. Blood pressure and EKG was perfect, thyroid was ok, cholesterol good. They checked for inflamation in my blood and found it was high and checked for lupus and that was negative. With the chest tightness I have had dizziness/feeling of uneasiness. Recently I have started havin some leg pains behind knees beside knees down my legs. It seems to move and certain areas are tender but no swellin or redness. Twice since having this pain when walking I have felt like I could pass out but haven t. Am not haivng the chest tightness right now. Could this be DVT, arthritis, MS?

Hello,
There are many medical conditions that can cause the leg pains. It can be:
- Baker's cyst - Also known as a popliteal cyst, a Baker's cyst is one of the most common causes of pain behind the knee.
osteoarthritis - The natural wear and tear of our knee joint
- Inflammation in the knee joint (rheumatoid arthritis)
I suggest an X-ray of the knee for further evaluation. I also suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such Acetaminophen for temporary relief.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
