What Causes Bloating And Burning In Legs During Dialysis?
My mother aged 51 years is getting dialysed thrice a week. Earlier it is twice in a week but for past four month it has become thrice. Recently she is compaling an acute pain in the legs as well as abdominal area.
For the legs, she tells that, it seems the veins are getting departed and also burning sensations.
For the stomach, she tells of it like a balloon and pain into it. Please help me understand if there is anything critical and must be looked into immediately.

Hi
thanks for posting in HCM
I have understood your concern
1.she is suffering from peripheral neuropathy and that is causing her leg pains.
advice: check serum vitamin B12 levels
treat this with cap.neurobion once a day
tab.pregaba 75 mg at night.
2.bloating abdomen is due to dyspepsia or peptic ulcer
advice: regular small quantity meals
cap.provdac once a day
tab.rantac-D in the morning.
if she is not improving with symptoms she needs upper GI endoscopy to see any ulcer and biopsy to look for H.pylori.
hole this helps you
any further questions please let me know
thanks
