Hello,
I have studied your case and I want to tell you that your pain is due to Arthritis. When bone is not able to take weight due to arthritis than it has to be shared by muscles. It causes pain in thigh and calf muscles.
Also some time it can be due to nerve compression. You can judge your self. If your pain increases on walking and relieved with rest, it is suggestive of nerve related pain.
Arthritis pain is present even when you are taking rest.
I will suggest you following.
1.Hot water fomentation.
2. Volitran ointment
3. Tablet Pregabalin M one daily at night time .
4. Calcium and vitmin D3 daily.
5. Tablet Tramadol one daily.
Please consult your doctor before taking those medicines. Let me know if you want to ask any follow up question.
Thanks
