Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Lower Legs With Burning Sensation After Malaria

Hi, I get recurrent malaria and have done so for over 20 years. I have just come through another bout of it - debilitating to say the least. However, I am constantly getting lower leg pain and burning in my feet and legs - especially at night - to the extent that it wakes me up. I take paracetamol for the pain but it simply sits there, although slightly less. It continues through the day to lesser or greater extent. I am 57, female and reasonably active and, besides the malaria, also healthy.

Hello, you are having pain and burning sensation in feet after malaria which is mostly due to insufficient vitamin B complex store in body. You must make some changes in your diet with addition of more fruits, vegetables, milk and eggs. You can consult your doctor for measurement of blood vitamin levels and take supplement accordingly. As you are active you need some feet relaxing exercises. you can also relax your feet keeping in warm water for 10 minutes.
