I have been having pain and weakness in my legs for 3 months. Recently my right knee is sore with some mild numbness in thigh. Yesterday went to urgent care and the Dr said it was probably arthritis, no x-ray was done. She told me to ice it 6x/day, take Tylenol arthritis and wrap it. Still very sore and have trouble walking. It was warm yesterday but not today. It looked a little red and bruised when I took the wrap off and I am icing it now.
Hi, my main concern after listening to you is to rule out any infection in your joint. Arthritis just means inflammation of joint which could be due to infection or degeneration, or some autoimmune disease process, I would advise you to go through CBC, ESR and CRP blood investigations and get X-Ray of your joint, these will help me rule out infection, and come to conclusion on the type of arthritis you have.
