Hi,

This can be due to Carnitine deficiency that occurs post use of the thyroid and blood pressure medicines that she has been taking.

Does she have swelling of her legs?

You can talk to your physician about this and get the tablets changed.

Taking analgesics and applying local gels will help.
Thank you.
