can you describe the actual sensation of pain when you keep your leg in the static for a long time or in the hanging position for long, like travelling in a bus or sitting in a high chair etc.

the thing is it becomes heavy when i am strained , by the way i cannot walk but no pain from inside . before when i used to get fever at that time it used to be chewing type pain inside and burning sensation and the leg used to become red and the swelling increased from foot to thigh gradually.
now no fever and no increase in swelling from 1996 govt. doctor is giving some homeo medicines, i don't know the name. but relief from fever. i want swelling to be cured completely.

the remedy is very clear with the symptoms you have provided. i feel you can cure yourself with homeopathy.
all of the symptoms call for APIS MEL.
please start treatment with APIS MEL 12C every 4 hours and take it till you feel a response.
once you feel the response, gradually taper down the frequency to three a day and then two for some more days.
stop when the heaviness is significantly reduced.
wait for the cure to take place and dont take any remedy for some days.
once the symptoms of heavyness recur, go for the doses again like before. if the 12C potency doesnt produce much response, go for 30C every 6 hours.
like this, you need to increase the potency.
come here and report every 15 days.
take the doses in empty stomach and clean mouth. no food or water one hour before or after.
take liquid remedy, 5 drops in some 5 ml of water slowly sipped up as each dose.
