Today I am VERY drowsy and have a lot of stiffness in knee and hip joints (stings were mostly on the calf). Could there be a connection?

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Dear Sir/Madam
I have gone through your query and read your symptoms.
In my opinion, your symptoms are indicative of the fact that you have arthritic joints that have been stressed beyond there usual tollerance, now what you need to do is
1 take analgesics, like acelofenac sod 100 mg SR one daily.
2 take rest so that no overexertion is done.

I hope that answers your query. If you want any more clarification, contact me back.
