Given your situation, unexplained weight loss and severe leg pain are concerning and could be indicative of several underlying conditions. First, it’s crucial to see a healthcare professional as soon as possible for a thorough evaluation. Weight loss like this, combined with leg pain, could be related to nutritional deficiencies, metabolic disorders, infections, or more serious systemic conditions like cancer or autoimmune disorders. When you visit your doctor, they’ll likely start with a complete physical examination, evaluate your comprehensive medical history, and may order some basic laboratory tests including blood work, urine tests, possibly imaging studies, to narrow down the possibilities. Key tests might include a Complete Blood Count (CBC) to check for anemia, metabolic panel to assess kidney, liver function, and thyroid tests to rule out hyperthyroidism or other metabolic causes. For the leg pain, conditions like peripheral neuropathy, nerve impingement, or vascular issues could be suspects, and depending on findings, further imaging or nerve studies might be necessary. They may also assess for musculoskeletal problems or even conditions like vitamin D deficiency or calcium irregularities, which are fairly treatable but require diagnosis first. In terms of immediate steps, ensure that your diet is well-balanced and rich in proteins, vitamins, and minerals—this could mean incorporating more fruits, vegetables, lean meats, and possibly a multivitamin. However, dietary changes alone are unlikely to solve the underlying issue, which is why a professional diagnosis is essential. This problem needs a targeted approach guided by professional assessment and comprehensive check-up that only a qualified provider can give.
Aapke symptoms severe weight loss, weakness aur tangon ke dard ke saath Malnutrition ya Anemia jaisi condition ki taraf ishara karte hain, lekin kisi chronic infection ya hormonal problem ko bhi rule out karna zaroori hai.
6 mahine se zyada weight loss hona ek warning sign hai, isliye sirf diet se theek hone ka intezar karna safe nahi hai.
Aap turant ek General Physician ko consult karein jahan blood tests aur proper evaluation karke exact cause ka treatment shuru kiya ja sake.

Hello ji Bilkul share karo Direct idea ho jayegaa Thanks
At your height (5’7") and weight (49 kg), you are underweight, which may fall under Underweight, and this can lead to muscle wasting, fatigue, and visible bones. The leg pain and weakness could be related to nutritional deficiencies (such as vitamin D, calcium, or vitamin B12), muscle loss, or even conditions like Anemia. Since your appetite is also reduced, your body is not getting enough nutrients to maintain strength and energy.
It is very important that you get some basic tests done, including complete blood count (CBC), vitamin B12, vitamin D, thyroid function, and blood sugar, to identify the exact cause. In the meantime, focus on improving your diet by eating high-calorie, nutrient-rich foods such as milk, eggs, bananas, dates, nuts, peanut butter, rice, and lentils, and try to eat small frequent meals (4–5 times daily) even if appetite is low. You may also benefit from a multivitamin and protein supplement if available. Adequate rest, sunlight exposure, and light physical activity (as tolerated) can help gradually rebuild strength.
Your condition suggests severe underweight with possible nutritional deficiencies or anemia causing weakness and leg pain, so you should undergo basic medical tests and improve your diet urgently, as proper diagnosis and nutrition can significantly help you regain strength and health.
Hi Shakeel,
Thank you for trusting us with your health. I am Dr. Nikhil Chauhan here to assist you. I have reviewed your details carefully.
First, please know that you have taken a very important step by reaching out. We will address this step by step.
Here is a breakdown of your situation and what needs to happen next:
Concerning Signs (Why this needs immediate attention):
· Chronic Weight Loss: Losing weight continuously for years, especially at your age (30) and current weight (49kg), is a red flag. Your BMI is very low. · Muscle Wasting: The description of your face losing luster and bones becoming visible suggests significant muscle loss (cachexia). · Severe Leg Pain: The pain is so severe it has stopped you from walking, which points to a deeper issue than simple fatigue. · Functional Decline: Going from being active (“bhag bhag k kaam”) to barely walking indicates a rapid decline in health.
Immediate Action Plan (Please do this as soon as possible):
1. Consult a Doctor Immediately: You must see a physician. Do not delay. This needs a physical examination. 2. Specific Tests to Discuss with your Doctor: · Blood Work: Complete Blood Count (CBC), ESR, Blood Sugar (to rule out diabetes), Thyroid Profile, Kidney and Liver Function tests. · Infections: Tests for Tuberculosis (TB) , as it is very common in Pakistan and causes weight loss, leg pain, and weakness. · Imaging: An X-ray or MRI of your legs to check the bones and joints for any infection or damage. · Gut Health: An stool examination and possibly an endoscopy/colonoscopy to check for absorption issues, as the weight loss is severe. 3. Nutritional Support: While waiting for the appointment, try to eat small, frequent meals. Focus on high-protein foods (eggs, lentils (daal), milk, yogurt, chicken) to help preserve muscle mass.
To help you further, it would be helpful to know:
· Do you have a fever, especially at night? · Have you had any persistent cough or digestive issues (diarrhea/constipation)? · Is the leg pain in the joints or the long bones?
Please see a doctor today or tomorrow. You need a proper diagnosis to start feeling better.
Wishing you strength and a speedy recovery.
Dr. Nikhil Chauhan
Hello Shakeel bhai, aapke symptoms—lambe arse se weight loss, kamzor jism, chehra be-ronaq, hadiyan nazar aana, aur tangon mein shadeed dard—bahut important hain aur inhe ignore nahi karna chahiye. Ye sab milkar kisi underlying medical problem ki taraf ishara karte hain, jaise:
- Nutritional deficiency (vitamin, iron, protein ki kami) - Hormonal imbalance (thyroid, diabetes, etc.) - Chronic infection (TB, hepatitis, etc.) - Digestive issues (malabsorption, stomach problems) - Other medical conditions (cancer, chronic illness)
Aapke liye sabse pehle doctor se milna zaruri hai, taaki asli wajah pata chal sake aur sahi ilaaj ho. Allah aapko sehat de, aur agar aur sawal ho toh poochhiye.
### Kya Karna Chahiye? 1. Doctor se milen: Aapko ek general physician ya internal medicine specialist se milna zaruri hai. Wo aapka physical check-up karenge aur kuch blood tests (CBC, thyroid, sugar, liver, kidney, vitamin D/B12, calcium) recommend karenge. 2. Balanced diet: Jitna ho sake protein-rich khana (dahi, paneer, dal, nuts, eggs), fruits, vegetables, aur milk lein. 3. Rest aur hydration: Aaram karein, pani peete rahein. 4. Leg pain ke liye: Vitamin D aur calcium ki kami ho sakti hai, lekin bina doctor ki salah ke supplements na lein.
### Kab Doctor Ko Jaldi Dikhayein? - Agar weight loss aur kamzori badh rahi ho - Agar bukhar, raat ko paseena, ya khoon aana ho - Agar chalne phirne mein aur zyada mushkil ho
Thank you
