Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have pain in legs and feet. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like muscle strains , atherosclerosis , deep vein thrombosis , arthritis , gout or slipped disk . In your case the symptoms are probably due to arthritis. Arthritis treatment focuses on relieving symptoms and improving joint function. Gentle massage can also give relief . For now take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain .I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may prescribe creams and ointments contain menthol or capsaicin , disease modifying antirheumatic drugs like methotrexate , biologic response modifiers like etanercept or prednisone . Doctor may also recommend physical therapy which will give lot of relief . In some severe cases doctor may consider surgery like joint repair joint replacement . Doctor may also prescribe muscle relaxant and anti inflammatory along with physical therapy for shoulder after diagnosis .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
