I need advise for my Mother in-law any Doctor or Nurse on-line?

Question

I talked to her yesterday and she told me that her right leg has had this very bad burning feeling in it from the knee up to the middle of thigh she says she cannot stand it if any kind of clothing touches it. I ask her if the Doc, has changed any medicine lately and she said only on the heart burn one. Could that be a type of side effect,
she says this has been going on for a few days now.She cannot drive and her sons wife just went to ohio and I am to far away.

Answer 1

I am not a doctor or a nurse, But I would suggest doing some research on varicose veins and leg blood clots. These can be very dangerous, and the symptoms are similar to what you are describing.

Answer 2

Do not worry at present. This type of burning discomfort virtually always due to a nerve. If this had a 'sudden' onset the odds are that it will completely resolve. A nerve may be inpinged upon but this does not sound like the case. Injury or inflammation to nerves occurs but usually in association with chronic health problems. Most cases are caused by a self limited viral infection although long term nerve damage may be. There is no cause for concern at this time.

Answer 3

Answer 4

Answer 5

Get her checked out for Diabetes

Answer 6

She should call the doctor, heart burn can be controll by many other mathods beside medication. I had answered a question before about gas problem but heart burn may be due to accute gass problem, I am enclosing that article.

She may not want to do fast, as, if she has low blood sugar or any other thing like that, the fast is not advisable.

Other things that may help is taking a slow walk around the block for 20 minutes after eating, without doing any thing else first.

Some times seating on a rocking chair after eating will hepl if she is able to spend 20 minutes rocking.

Stomach Gas Problem
By

If you have not seen a doctor please see one.

How is the gas normally formed?

Gas is formed during all stages of digesting process, in all parts of the system.

There are enzymes, acids and bacteria....... they break down what we take in, solid or liquid or gases (if you are a smoker some smoke will end up in the system).

This process of breaking down produces gases. The gasses come out through upper or lower exists depending on where they are formed if all valves are performing.

The problem happens when;
1. There is over production.
2. Malfunction mainly of various valves in the systems.

During weekly fasting days – how to control? - The Pt is-male(38).

I am glade that you are believer in fasting.

But I do not know what kind of fast you follow.

The best thing you can do is fast, with water only, you must take in a gallon of water every day fasting or not. Water is a universal purifier. It will regulate the acids ....

Stomach Gas problem?

After a day of fasting, you should eat for whole day only yogurt and rice for all three meals. Yogurt should be non pasteurized kind (Curd or Dehi), Danon in USA is selling a bran name "Actinia" use that. Pesturiezed Yogurt does not have the enzymes that help solve the gas problem.

Now you can slowly introduce one new food item per day and see how your system reacts. But with all meals you must eat some Yogurt. If you have the problem, you will know what food to blame or avoid. Simple well cooked food causes less problem then non cooked items. You must not use spicy food in the beginning and introduce them slowly one at a time.

How to control my food?

You must eat what you need i.e. amount of total calories intake. I have two articles that I will include that should help. FYIO.

Which food is better?

Yogurt should be included in small quantity with all meals in your case till the problem is solved. Gallon of water should be taken every day even after the problem is solved.

Which food is to be avoided?

This I have answered and showed you the way to find out.

Which food is better?

Well cooked simple food is batter. You must eat so that you are going to keep some room for two helping of your favorit desert but take one helping of it only. Do not starve but you must have some room for the gasses to form during the process of digesting.

Which medicine is better?

If you follow the above you should not need medicine. Some time you like to eat certain food say at a party then there are lots of non prescription stuff that is available to you, at local pharmacy, they all work but some will work batter for you have to try and use what works best, some of this you can take before the party.

Tea/Coffee to be avoided completely or not?

By same process you can find this out, slowly introduce in small quantity and see what happens.

According to the present company provided food/accommodation, it is not possible to avoid Refrigerated and Microwave food – So what to do – or how to manage these food and when (Day time, evening, night).

How the food is cooked or kept is not important Refrigerated and Microwave food. The food is not be spoiled, watch out for dates, once the package is opened, use the same up as soon as you can. Take out the food in a plate put away the rest first in the refrigerator then warm up. Food should be kept out of refrigerator least amount of time. Smell the food, look at the food does not look right or smell right is not right.

PS

Once you start eating all the food, it may help, if you eat 6 small meals instead of 3 large meals.

Simplest Cleansing Diet
By
Minootoo


It should always include, Doctor’s exam to make sure you are fit, to under take such diet.

It must start out with one day of fast. That day you do not eat any solid or liquid food, you just drink water all day minimum one gallon.

Next morning you break the fast with lime lemon juice in a glass of water and about half hour or so later, eat Yogurt 4 Oz plain no fruits (Dehi/curd), if possible get full cultured non pasteurized kind, Danon in USA has Actinia.

Eat other two meals of plain boiled rice and 4Oz each of Yogurt, the total calories for the day must be under the calories required per chart given by Bio-Mass-Index (you can find it on Internet guide line for first 3 days about 1700 calories).

Do this for 2 more days but add boiled rice for morning break fast, again must watch total calories in take. You can other wise you will put on weight. You may skip lime lemon water but it will help to use it very day.

On fourth day you can start adding one more food at a time and start using your normal food after 15 days.

The beauty of this is you can also find out what foods are not compatible with your digestive system. This way you can avoid them in future.

This can be done as required when your stomach feels heavy.

I recommend once a year or so, even if you feel fine.

Hint:

You need to drink gallon of fluid, every day, most of it have to be water.
