Suggest Treatment For Burning In Legs And Lack Of Energy
My son is a xc runner. He has always been a top runner. Now, for the past two weeks his legs are burning, no energy and runs like his legs weigh a ton. He even had to drop out of one race. He has been running for 5 years. His coach said to try iron. Do you know how much iron I should give him?

Hello, Thanks for your query. The symptoms that you are having are likely to be related to benign causes like electrolyte imbalance, iron,vitamin D and B 12 deficiency, etc. Most of the times these symptoms can be taken care of by taking electrolyte rich fluids, vit D and Methylcobalamin and iron supplements. I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
