I am feeling so weak. In addition to the burning sensation in the soles of the feet, due to diabetic neuropathy, I am feeling pain in the waist and hip bone. In 1986 I had faced a scooter accident and broke my left acetabular in to six pieces. I was bed ridden for eight months wearing a chest to toe, plaster cast. Today pathology tests revealed normal ECG, fasting blood sugar level 97, and two hours after food 108; and x-ray revealed, gross deposit over the hip joint. Due to this and the burning soles, I have been advised to take rest. I was supposed to travel to Hyderabad with my wife on 25th, today, but I got my ticket cancelled and bought new for 15th November only. Doctors could not tell me the reason for this weakness. I am taking normal vegetarian Indian food, milk daily and meat, fish, egg once a week on Sundays. I take herbal food supplements, ‘aloe vera’ juice, this is a very short-stemmed plant with thick leaves with soothing mucilaginous juice; leaves develop spiny margins with maturity; native to Mediterranean region; grown widely in tropics and as houseplants . Can anybody tell me the reason for this weakness and suggest food that gain revive the strength and suggest remedies for burning soles and extreme weakness? Thanks in advance.Professor

I feel sorry for the health set back. Even I was sleeping for whole of the day yesterday and my daughter was worried. By evening I was fine. May be due to our age sometimes we feel tired. I hope you are eating well. Your doctor is the correct person to advise you properly in this matter after checking you up.

See, I am not a doctor, so I really can't help you out much on this one, but I can tell you that you need to eat healthy and relieve all stress from your life.

Hi Professor, Sorry to hear that you are not feeling well and hope that you will be well enough to travel by November 15th. You appear to be eating the right foods and I suspect that you would be feeling even worse if you were not. Get well soon. Blessings.

hi professor your blood sugar readings make me want to weep those are what I strive for but the last two days Ihav been high although I got up this morning with fasting at 83 so that was not so bad. You sound like you really eat quite smartly.Maybe you need a little more protein like soy or beans perhaps if you do not want meat, Here in the Us they have several creams or ointments for neuropathy of the feet. I have only had that when I was first diagnosed but not since then. I am wondering on the aloe vera juice,I thought that was frowned on here in the Us for some reason. I know the stuff from the leaves really soothes sunburned skin. wow it really works. I know from what Shiv told me that you Indians have some really wonderful healing herbs we do not have here except at Indian stores.You do eat all your fruits and veggies I would imagine? Sounds like calcium deposits in you hips? I have it in my right knee. I hope someone can help you better than me but check on aloe vera juice please. take care and get well soon; best wishes from hatley;
