View allIve been having pain in my knees and the lower part of my feet, and it seems to happen mostly after sex, but at other times, Im okay. This started after I finished treatment for dengue last year, and its been coming and going ever since. Any idea what might be going on or how I can get some relief?
This could be due to general myalgia from muscle strain. You can opt for physiotherapy exercises for stretching the calf and thigh muscles. Cold compress and muscle relaxants can help alleviate the pain.
