Suggest Remedy For Intense Burning In Soles And Lower Legs
Hello Doctor, my mother aged 75 yrs is suffering from intense burning sensation in her both soles and lower legs. She is taking Aldonil OD (1 Tab daily) but not much relief. Her Vitamin B12 and D3 was low but now has taken medicines for that. But the burning sensation in sloes and lower legs continues. What to you advise?

This type of sensations are most commonly caused by vitamin B 12 deficiency. and recovery can take some time as nerve heals very slowly. I would suggest you to continue her with B 12 supplements.
I would also suggest you to give her Pregabalin capsule in night time , this is good for all these burning sensations.
If pregabalin is not working then Amytryptalin can also be used in that case.
I hope she is not having Diabetes or thyroid as these disease should be under control also.
