Question 1

pain in legs after eating food and feeling sleepy and even after 2-2.5 hours sleep felling pain in legs as well as other muscles too and can't control my sleep i don't know why? this happns after every meal.

Accepted Answer

Unusual: Not a common complaint, but there are still multiple possibilities.  A basic medical check up and blood work to look for things like diabetes, renal and liver disease would be appropriate way to start.

Question 2

23 years old not overweight leg pain after eating  with weakness and lower back pain and constant smell of metal in nose?

Accepted Answer

Interesting: Your symptoms of back and leg pain with weakness are commonly associated with back and disc injury in your age group.   The metal smell is unusual.   I would suggest you see your dentist for an oral examination.   Bad teeth can cause infection to lumbar disc in rare cases.

Question 3

is it normal for infants to draw legs in after eating?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Infants draw their legs in normally.  It is a normal position of comfort for them.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Don't know: These symptoms merit a medical evaluation by a doctor to figure out the problem, particularly if recurrent.

Question 5

what should i do about my lower leg pain that has been hurting for 3 days after i have been eating tylenol ?

Accepted Answer

Need additional info: how did you develop this leg pain? trauma? 
What makes it worse?

If swelling and calf pain, you may need to get evaluated in person

Question 6

5 y/o with 7 day fever low grade 100.2 to 101.8 comes & goes. happy, eating, playful. now says she has leg pain. i asked for cbc today. leukemia?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely, but...: Getting a CBC is a good way to start. It is encouraging that she seems to be doing well clinically. Any abnormality on her smear (blasts) or abnormal numbers should prompt a more thorough evaluation.

Question 7

what causes repeated boils on face n legs after eating certain food?

Accepted Answer

Boils: hello~ probably not the food, but most likely due to MRSA. Have the next boils pus cultured and then go and see an infectious disease expert for advice on Rx if it is MRSA thanks

Question 8

what cause my legs to have severe tingling and prickliness after eating? could women's multivitamins cause this?

Accepted Answer

Need more info: Do your symptoms occur in both legs  or one leg? If in one leg, is it always the same leg, or is it back and forth? High-dose B vitamins can cause numbness &amp; tingling.
Are they worse in times of stress? Anxiety can be a cause also.  I'm not aware of mealtime causes, unless they result from your sitting posture. Do discuss with clinician. Hope that helps

Question 9

i was diagnosed with gastritis. lately i've been feeling like i'm getting a pulse feeling in my legs/feet/back after eating with severe tiredeness why?

Accepted Answer

Leg pulsations/ulcer: Gastritis may cause bleeding in severe cases (any dark stools?).  This could cause anemia that might provoke symptoms you describe in your back/extremities with associated fatigue.  Assume you are treated with antacids (?Prilosec, Pepcid) and may want to have blood tests to f/u on this.

Question 10

my mother, 62, gets really bad leg cramps after eating anything made with grains. what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Celiac Disease: It's possible she has celiac disease. With this, the gluten in grain products can lead to a myriad of symptoms, among them leg cramps. A gluten-free diet would address this, but she should discuss this with her doctor first to insure that is the correct diagnosis.
