What causes severe pain in the legs?
Patient: My name is Brenda I have had this problem for two years now and no answers I thought maybe I might get a fresh perspective. I have had chronic diarrhea to the point of not being able to make it five feet to the bathroom, I thought I had rhymatiod arthritis and the blood test was negative, I have massive pains in my legs to the point that I can t stand or sit in the same position for long, it s not the joints that hurt it s the bones they feel like they are on fire. I do have barrets esophagus and had lower arena upper scopes done last November and everything was normal and un changed with the barretts. Doctor: Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.  I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.  Pain in the legs are basically due to neurological dysfunction though vascular and musculo-skeletal problems can also be there. Visit a neurologist and get all the nerve function tests done along with a few imaging investigations. Nerve damage causes a fiery feel at the points of damage. You need medications & endurance for nerve repairs take time. Take calcium & iron rich diet. Take dairy products and stay well hydrated, maintain the electrolyte balance of your body. You can also take vitamin B12 with folic acid & minerals as dietary supplements.   Hope I have answered your query.  Let me know if I can assist you further.
