What causes raw and painful soles while on electronic implant stimulant for the spine?
Answered by
possible neuropathy
Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome.
Well, this may be caused by neuropathy or circulatory issues of legs and feet.
Neuropathy is disorder of nerve conduction and may be seen in diabetic or some methabolic causes and spine compressive issues.
It is presented with burning pain without skin changes.
Circulatory changes happens due to poor circulation in legs and may be related to your heart disorder but also s in legs which are common in this age and there may be present atherosclerosis that obstructs blood vessels and causes pain especially while walking.
You should do Doppler ultrasound of the leg or CT angiography to rule out such obstructive changes and then it can be treated properly by medications or by surgical and radiological procedures.
Also medication called Gabapentin may help with neuropathy. You should also, keep leg elevated when laying, apply elastic stockings and take magnesium and calcium supplements.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.

MD Hi Doctor,
This is Sreeparna and little boy is just over 10 months. So far he was only taking Vitamin D supplements. I breast feed my boy as he needs along will home made food(vegetables and fruits). He is doing alright.
We have shifted our place and visited a new doctor close by. He has suggested calcium, iron and multivitamins as well with vitaminD. Do I really need to give him so much. Also can we start salt and sugar in his diet from now?
Thanks
Sreeparna
MD Hi,
My name is Ruchi and I am 31 years old. I have a constant pain in my right knee when I go down the stairs or upstairs.also both my knees make the cracking noise(friction) and it has grown over the years. secondly, my lower back starts hurting acutely if i stand for too long. I can barely bend backwards to strech my back. I have been excercising and utaking calcium in my normal diet but now I am wondering if it is something else. I dont have a history (except that my father has high uric acis issue and gets gout pains sometimes) there has been no past injuries. Can you please suggest what should I do in this situation. Do i need to see a specialist?
thanks
Ruchi
