Guest guest Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Having just had nettlerash from eating uncooked fish, it seems the connection with digestion and burning skin rash is not unusual.I have used Molkosan, a whey product from Dr Vogel, topically and internally, which seems to work well.Otherwise, heartsease and burdock and red clover also are helping.Have not seen it just below the knee, but that can be related to circulation problems.Food sensitivities are not detected by GP's, but gluten free seems advisable.best wishes, Marilena.

I will reply for more info but I was just wondering if anyone has come across this before? "I would appreciate if you will use your expertise to advice me on how to manage my pain. I have for sometimes now developed a burning sensation on my legs. It starts from below my knee right to my feet. It is worst at night and whenever I am sleeping. I have been to my Gp and all possible tests have been conducted on me with no abnormalities found. The second condition is my bowels. I hardly go to the toilet. In fact, for me to empty my bowel, I must take laxative and sometimes even the laxative does not help". Thanks. Hannah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 I've often seen chronic constipation and other bowel problems present with burning in the lower legs. I've always thought it to be due to an inflamed bowel causing irritation of the sacral nerve roots. Usually clearing the constipation helps the burning. eliminate any foods which commonly cause intolerance from the diet as well as prescribing aperient herbs.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 If organic has been eliminated then sounds like a case of drawing out the damp heat accumulation in lower body. Had a similar patient, went in a fortnight (TCM stuff). I suppose working with lymphatics might be similar but consider the 'trapped' heat element. Has neuropathy been ruled out?Lorraine Lorraine Hodgkinson AHG MRCHMHERBS AND HELPERS6, Butts Fold, Cockermouth,Cumbria, CA13 9HY.

I would consider lymphatic congestion Hannah. I have come across similar before. As for the constipation I would need more information from the case history. Is it a problem with dryness for example?

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Hi I agree the constipation is the problem, but wonder whether there's another mechanism going on as well. I read a book years ago about sugar (Sugar, Diabetes and the Saccharine Disease, by Cleave & , 1966) which suggested that a high refined carb diet can produce congestion in the lower bowel (nothing new there but this was 1966!) which then causes pressure on the femoral arteries and veins, producing symptoms of peripheral vascular congestion. Sacral nerve root irritation also sounds entirely plausible - maybe a bit of both. > > > > > Hello, > > > > This query has just been emailed to me and it looks a bit puzzling - possibly a blood sugar problem?.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 Hello Hannah, I really appreciate reading the responses to this post; they make a great deal of sense. About the constipation - enemas or colonics may be necessary to get the hard or impacted matter to clear before bowel function may return to normal... Let us know how this enquiry proceeds.

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Thanks for your replies everyone. We're going to start by concentrating on the constipation, so we'll see how we go.
