Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am having pain in my right leg (back) above the knee and it only hurts when I get up from a chair or couch and once I put any pressure on that foot it makes I hard for me to walk on it I have to hop and the I can walk on it without hopping. I am using bengay which help for a while unto I get up again
Thank you for your question. First this does not sound like arthritis however it's good time it out. If this is cause by long standing then it has to do with muscle problem. Get a physical examination by doctor to get the exact place for the pain and rule out swelling. Other tests like x-ray. Rheumatoid factor may be necessary.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Mutuma Geoffrey Zambezi
