What Causes Inflammation Of Legs And Feet Along With Weakness?

Yes I have been diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy which came on me when I had a flu and then pneumonia. I have burning in my legs and feet, also numbness in both, and weakness in my legs. Is there no way to find the cause, or am I destined to take these horrible medicines being prescribed to me?

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Experiencing inflammation of legs and feet with weakness due to peripheral neuropathy following treatment of infection like flu and pneumonia could be caused due to vitamin deficiency.
The possibility of vitamins which couldnbe defecit include Vitamin B12, Pyridoxine, Niacin, Thiamine and Pantothenic acid.
Kindly take multivitamin capsules for a month and you should see the improvement in your condition gradually.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
Wish you all the best.
