What Is The Remedy For Only One Leg Pain Due To Muscular Pain

Dear Sir,
At 75,for the first time,I had pain on my left leg,especially below and above knee.
I can walk,but when I step-down,I have more pain and while stepping-up mild pain.I referred to Physician and he diagnosed that I have no problem with knee-joint and it is just muscular pain.He prescribed PMSON ER containing Acetaminophen extended release tablet twice a day and Folimax-Plus containing Folic acid,Pyridoxine hydrochloride-10mg and Methylcobalamine-750mg.once/day.
Since I started these drugs,I do have some relief.He further advised to use hot water bag at night and do some exercise so as to strengthen the muscles.I also apply Bengay cream which does relieve pain.
Folimax-plus is to be continued for a month and PMSON ER till pain subsides.By now I am taking these drugs since last about 8days.
Kindly advised whether this treatment will be ok or else I may need to go for any further investigation by Orthopedic consultant.
My physician told that such pain may take little more time in old age and I need not worry.
I shall be obliged if you kindly comment.God bless you,sir!
Warm regards,
agdesai.

Hello, Anil! How are you?

If your doctor checked the knee joint and found nothing wrong, then he is most likely right and it is just muscular pain. As we age, our muscles tend to lose some of their elasticity and we can sprain them or overwork them much easier than when we were younger.

However, if he didn't actually check the joint, then you may want to consult a different doctor that will do some evaluations.

Is there anything else I can help with?
