Experiencing Numb Patch Below The Knee And Undergone Hysterectomy, Is It Due To Mercury Poisoning ?

I am experiencing numb patches of skin. The first one started years ago on a small area right below my knee. Along with that the skin in that area felt sensitive it was rubbed or if I kneel on it. In the last few months the area of numbness has increased and now my other knee also has a numb patch. The skin feels tight and hurts if you rub it. I had a complete hysterectomy 8 years ago and was on HRT for only a year or so. Could it possibly be mercury poisoning?

Dear Madam,

Well I think you should consult a neurologist for this because only after examination it could be found out which dermatomes are involved.
