Have Sciatica Caused By Herniated Discs. Feeling Numbness And Flutter In Chest. Confused. Suggest
I am a 33 year old female with lower back problems sciatica caused by herniated discs. I have had a numb right calf and foot since my last serious attack in December. It seems to be improving slowly but it cramps up multiple times a day. Im not sure if this is related but my
left arm has been numb and tingling for about a week now and I have experienced a flutter in my chest which causes me to cough. I'm starting to worry a bit as I'm on Diane 35 and I'm not sure if these symptoms are due to a possible blood clot or to the nerve damage caused by my back issues.
Any input is much appreciated.

Hi,
Based on details you have sciatica caused by herniated disc. This can produce right calf and foot symptoms which you have mentioned.You need to have neuralgic drugs ,for alleviation of symptoms.
Numbness and tingling in left arm is also sensory symptoms related to impinged nerve .Hence you require detail examination for same .Most probable cause would be cervical disc. Consult neurologist/Neurosurgeon
Diane contains two drugs cyprohepatidine and ethinyl estradiol . The drug cannot produce such symptoms
