What could cause pain, swelling, and itching in legs, and knees for the past four months?

Question

Hello doctor,

My father is 59 years old and suffering from liver issues and heart block. When the doctor was consulted, they suggested getting stents to clear the blocks. He already has a pacemaker. However, he has been suffering from burning pain, swelling, and itching on his legs, under and over his knees. It has been going on for the last four months, and the doctors could not cure the condition or find a root cause. The pain is severely affecting his daily activities. Could you please let me know the cause and cure for it?

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read your query, and I can understand your concern.

The information provided is insufficient to determine the cause and cure. However, the pain in the knees can be most likely osteoarthritis. burning sensation in the legs could be a neuropathic pain due to vitamin B12 deficiency or other B complex vitamins. I would suggest to take an injection of Neurobion Forte 3 ml (Calcium pantothenate, Cyanocobalamin, Nicotinamide, Pyridoxine hydrochloride, Riboflavin, and Thiamine mononitrate) intramuscularly daily for the next ten days. He can wear kneecaps or take analgesics in case of severe pain. Consult a specialist doctor and take medications with their consent.

I hope this information will help you.

Thank you.
