Hello. I am hypertensive, and on Ramipril, and Spronolactone. Because of oedema and high potassium level, I am also now on a diuretic. I do a lot of walking, and am finding my legs and calves ache after a very short walk. I cut back on the Spironolactone and my potassium dropped to normal levels, but my legs continue to ache when walking. My last blood test showed high urea (10.6) and my fingers and wrists ache most of the time. Is this urea related? I have had gout before, but in my big toe or ankle, due to high urea. Are these symptoms of it? Thanks
Dear friend your calf and leg pain does not seem to be related to any of your medication, per se, high uric acid may be contributing to your wrist and finger ache, we need some more information regarding your calf ache like1 how far does it take to start aching2 how severe is the ache does it make you sit down3 does it relieve once you sit down for some time,5 if you keep walking in spite of pain does it reduce after some time. Arterial supply insufficiency needs to be ruled out in your case. Please share the desired information for a better diagnosis and suggestion
