My father has severe leg joint pain and is unable to walk or use the restroom. What medicines or pain relievers can he take for relief?

Asked by Male, 65 · 23 hours ago

I am sorry to hear your father is experiencing such severe pain. Because his mobility is severely affected, he should be evaluated by a doctor to identify the exact cause. For temporary relief, he can safely take paracetamol (acetaminophen). If he has no history of stomach ulcers, kidney issues, or heart problems, an anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen may also help. Applying a cold or warm compress to the joint can provide some comfort. Please avoid giving him stronger prescription painkillers without a medical consultation. I recommend contacting a home-visit doctor or safely transporting him to a clinic for a proper diagnosis.
