Knee and leg pain

Bones, joints and muscles

Hi I've got OA in both knees but get a lot of calf pain particularly when sitting or lying down. Is this usual with knee arthritis and if so does anyone know how to alleviate it a bit

Sorry, I've never had this with OA in the knees.  Maybe someone else has though?  Would stretches help?

I had leg pain all over before I had knee replacements for my kneecap arthritis. Stretches helped me.

An ortho can scope the knee and clean a lot of that out...as long as there are no tears or a bone-on-bone situation.  You should feel some relief.  Also, there is Voltaren Gel (RX in the USA) that is the second best topical anti-inflammatory on the planet.  Very helpful, especially at bedtime.  Usually works in 15 minutes.
