What Causes Foot And Hand Pain In A Patient With Food Poisoning?
I have food poisoning from eating raw undercooked steak and am still feeling pretty ill after a week. Not any bloody diareah or vomiting but vertigo, aching hands and feet. Should I keep waiting it out or see a doctor as soon as possible? Thanks in advance.

Thank you for sharing your query on Healthcaremagic, I have carefully worked through your case and I recommend you go to the doctor, the food poisoning often improved without treatment within 48 hours or taking some home remedies but you have over a week with the symptoms, probably you got a bacterial infection and the treatment is antibiotic, you need a medical evaluation to get the right diagnostic and treatment. I hope that my advice has been helpful,regards
