Leg issue and unable to bend

2026-09-12 12:39:00
My mother, Rubina Malik, is 57 years old and has diabetes. She was enrolled in Practo’s Diabetes Reversal Program. Her blood sugar readings from yesterday were: Fasting/empty stomach: 123 mg/dL Post-dinner: 188 mg/dL She weighs around 54 kg and goes for a walk twice a day. She is currently experiencing a problem in her left thigh/leg. She feels a tightness in the thigh, and she is unable to bend the leg properly. She also feels as if the veins or nerves in that area are under extreme pressure and might burst. The sensation is quite uncomfortable. We consulted a local orthopedic specialist in Ratlam. The doctor gave her an injection, after which she felt some relief, and prescribed medicines. However, the problem has not completely resolved. A local physiotherapist told us that there is no proper treatment for this problem. Her diabetes doctor from Practo has now prescribed Winnaxon Plus injection. We want to understand what could be causing this problem and, most importantly, whether t

A persistent thigh or leg tightness with inability to bend in a 57-year-old with diabetes needs examination, not repeated injections alone. Causes may include hip or knee disease, nerve or spine compression, diabetic neuropathy, muscle problems, or a vascular clot; the exact location, swelling, weakness and pulses matter. Winnaxon Plus should only be continued as prescribed by her treating doctor after review.
Next Steps
Please arrange prompt in-person assessment by orthopedics, neurology or a physician with her prescription and glucose records; she may need a neurovascular examination and targeted imaging. Go urgently if the leg becomes swollen, red/hot, suddenly weak or numb, cold/pale, or if breathlessness or chest pain occurs. Consult me on Practo or visit Synergy Multispeciality Hospital, Miraj.
