Suggest Medication For Sores Coming Out From Both Legs
My husband is a diabetic and has sores that come out on both legs under his knees. He also has serious mood swings that at times make everyone around him nervous. He is on insulin morning, noon, and at night and also on lantis before going to bed. He has been to serveral doctors but none have pinpointed the cause of the sores nor his behavior. what type of doctor do I need to bring him to??

Dear sir
It appears that you are suffering from osteoarthritis. I just want to confirm it that you are experiencing pain in the calf muscles rather than joints. Right??
If that is true then you might be experiencing vitamin b12 and d3 deficiencies too.
So dont worry, start vitamin b12 with folic acid once a day for one month, and vitamin d3 60 thousand IU, once a week for 8 weeks. Please consult your doctor for indivisual contraindications..
Hope this helps
Thanks
