I am in a lot of pain in my knees and legs, my feet swell. I just got a test back that my C-reactive protein is at 19. I have a full knee replacement on my right knee and a partial on my left. I also get nauseated about everyday at some time or another. My family doctor wants me to go to my orthopedic doctor and can t get into him for a week. Any advice?
Hi, thank-you for providing the brief history of you.a thorough neuromuscular assessment is advised. Also, as you mentioned your creatinine levels are high, are you diabetic? Are you being taking a lot of painkillers? Well, if so, the painkillers need reduction. As the creatinine levels are too high as per me. Also, since you do not have an or tho available, you can visit a physical therapy, who will help you with exercises and ultrasound therapy to reduce pain and swelling. Also, maintain you fluid intake and output. As to help reduce swelling further. In my clinical practice I have seen cases with similar complaints. With physical therapy they respond well and with diet management. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.
