Numbness In Left Knee, Spreading, Pain In Left Heel. Are They Connected? Reason?
I have a numbness in my left knee . Have had it for years but the area is now growing. I am also experiencing excruciating pain in my left heel and was wondering if they were connected and what the problem might be. I am going to get an emg next week but wanted to know whether the two might be related and if I should follow up on this?
