The best way to prevent osteomyelitis is to keep things clean. If you or your child has a cut, especially a deep cut, wash it completely. Flush out any open wound under running water for five minutes, then bandage it in sterile bandages.

If you have leg pain then you have to rule out the causes for having leg pain. First of all check your weight and your haemoglobin levels, as anaemia always leads to the symptoms of being tired and also having leg pain though there are no issues with the knee joint or back pain. If not if the pain radiates down the back of thigh and legs then it might be due to sciatica. Kindly consult the nearby physiotherapist. Hope you recover soon from the leg pain.

Sorry to know about your father. You mentioned ct guided fnac showed metastasis. From the information you have provided it looks like it is a case of lung cancer with brain and bone metastases. I would suggest you consult a oncologist for further guidance.

Dear Lybrate user,
- give rest to the limb
- apply ice pack for 5-10 min 3 times a day on the affected area
- apply pain relief gel three times a day
- take a pain relief tablet after meals 2-3 times a day
- get x-ray of the affected area to rule out any bony injury.

it will take such a long time for the infection to go, start with antibiotics and continue it until it subsides completely
