Pain in left leg , mainly in knee area
Since last 01 month, my father,age 74, is having pain in his left leg mainly in knee portion. Due to this he is unable to walk for a long. Prior to this he was walking approx 1.5 km a day on regular basis. He faces pain a lot while moves after a long sitting. He has a history of Arthritis in past. Pl. suggest to whom we have to consult for the same? Orthopedic, Rheumatologist or Neurologist. Besides required blood tests may also be suggested which will be useful to the doctor for understanding the problem.
