Suggest Treatment For Pain And Tenderness In The Leg
My whole right leg is painful to touch. From my ankle to my hip it s very tender and I can t even describe what the pain feels like it s weird. If I brush something up to it it s worse than a poke. At rest my leg aches bad. I was having a hard time breathing yesterday, not sure if that has anything to do with it or not. I am a 28 yr old female.

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement, Dr. Saurabh Gupta's Response
Hi, Thanks for your query. From your description , pain over your leg seems to be inflammatory in nature. I advice you to give you rest to the part affected, take anti-inflammatory drug like motrin 1tablet with food as and when required (upto 4 tablets daily) to reduce pain and inflammation and consult your doctor for thorough examination and rule out any infective cause.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care j
