Suggest Treatment For Tingling Sensation And Numbness In Leg
Question: I have a tingly foot. When I was driving it was so numb I had to lift my leg to move it from break to gas. Scary. I have had 3 pulls in my leg. Doctor said it's probably related. It's still tingly & I'm nervous about driving. Is it connected to pulls and will it heal itself?How long before a response?Is this a scam? I've yet to receive a response.I still haven't received an answer. I believe this is a scam. I will be changing my credit number and reporting this site.
Brief Answer:
A minor nerve compression likely.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Sorry for the delay in response. The tingling and numbness of the foot is suggestive of a nerve root compression in the area. This can be due to minor spondylottic changes in the spine.
It is best to avoid driving and consult a neurologist for proper evaluation. An MRI scan of the spine may help in detecting the exact level of nerve root compression. Taking methylcobalamin supplements can be helpful.
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.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
