Loss Of Power In Lower Limbs After Lying On Back For Three Hours
Question: LOSS OF POWER IN LOWER LIMBS AFTER LYING ON BACK FOR THREE HOURS
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Loss of power in lower limbs can be due to many reasons. It can be due to nerve root compression - degenerative disc disease, motor neuron problem or a cerebral disorder.
A thorough neurological examination and investigations like MRI of head and spine, nerve conduction studies, etc are needed to find out the exact cause.
I encourage you to consult a neurophysician for necessary investigations and further treatment.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
