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.
