I experience pain in my right leg when running or jogging. What should I do?
Dr Chandrakanth Jena
Pharm D
Pain in your leg while running or jogging may be caused by muscle strain, overuse, or joint problems. You should rest your leg, avoid high-impact activities, apply ice for 15?20 minutes several times a day to reduce inflammation, and perform gentle stretches. Wear supportive shoes and run on flat surfaces to help prevent further strain. See a doctor if the pain does not improve or worsens.
I experienced a leg cramp while playing badminton, and now I have discomfort when walking. I took Meftal-Forte and applied Voveran TPM gel. Is this the right treatment?
Dr Chandrakanth Jena
Pharm D
Yes, taking Meftal-Forte (mefenamic acid and paracetamol) and applying Voveran TPM gel (diclofenac) is appropriate for relieving pain from a leg cramp. Make sure to rest your leg, stretch gently, and stay well hydrated. You may also apply ice for 15?20 minutes a few times a day, and avoid strenuous activity until you feel better. If pain, swelling, bruising, or weakness persists, see a doctor to rule out a muscle tear or other injury.
