I have a problem with legs. It happens irregularly, with difficulties such as standing up, walking, bending knees. I was searching for reasons online, I have a doubt I might have beriberi (?). Please find out the reason together.

Thiamine deficiency is rare in the united states. It remains relatively common in sub-saharan africa. Outbreaks have been seen in refugee camps. Thiamine deficiency has been described for thousands of years in asia, and became more common in the late 1800s with the increased processing of rice. So this is not beri beri. If you have still a doubt then do test for thiamine level in blood. This is calcium deficiency, do panchakarma like basti treatment for 8 days. And apply oil massage, have calcium rich food, like milk, cow ghee. And for medicinal treatment consult me online.
