Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Burning Sensation And Pain In The Calves?
I have had kidney and liver failure in October last year and I ve seen to be losing bowels control and I have severe burning inside the body and my calves are very painful and tender and I m losing my fingernails from the bottom up and I m also losing most of my hair on my head
Liver and kidney failure can lead accumulation of toxic metabolites in the body and so can lead to muscle weakness. But still, as calf swelling and pain present local examination needed and if need than color Doppler can be done.
Check your calcium, sodium, potassium level, TSH etcetera. According to the examination, further management plan and investigation decided.
Mention your liver and kidney profiles result like urea, creatinine and SGPT, SGOT for further discussion. Consult the physician for examination.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Parth Goswami
