Suggest Treatment For Body Aches And Red Patches On Palm/legs
Hi, I am Sandeep. I have been using Omnacortil 5mg for the last 3 weeks. I have been advised this for body aches, red patches on palm and legs and minute swelling. Once i stop using or reduce the usage to 1 time a day the effects like weakness, small red patches on skin, feeling of illness and indigestion. Can you please suggest how would i get over this without using the tablets please?

Thankyou for the Question
From your history it seems that you have got dependency of steroids.Well steroids once started,should be tappered off gradualy.I would like to know that what was
the diagnosis by your doctor who suggested you steroid tab,have you gone through some blood tests? As some autoimmune diseases can cause these type of symptoms.
Using steroids for long period can cause some side effects,e.g..low calcium,weakness of bone,deranged blood sugar level and hypertention etc. My opinion would be that you should get evaluate for these effects also.
If you want home remedy then you can use below mentioned remedy.
Preparation:
Soak one full tablespoon of flax seed in 200-300 ml water and cook it about 10 minutes.
Wash one medium size potato and graters it along with the bark. Grater medium clove of a red onion. When the water with flax seed is cooled, add the onions and potatoes and mix everything well.
Drain unnecessary liquid from the mixture.
If the problem is at your fingers or feets, put the mixture in some old socks or gloves, and fix them with a nylon bag. The other parts of the body such as hips, spine, ribs, knees, etc., first should be applied with the mixture on a gauze and put the trim on the sore spot. Fix it all with a bandage or plastic wrap.
The drip should stay on the spot during the night, and throw away at morning. Clean the spot with water and soap.
Hopefully my anwer will be helpfull for you.
You can ask further without hesitation.
