Brief Answer:
Vascular problem in brain
Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for using Healthcaremagic.
I went through your query and understood your concerns.
Few of my patients do present with similar complains, for them first I would like to rule out problem in brain , related to blood circulation. Reduction in blood flow to particular part of brain do present with similar problem. Which requires immediate treatment.
Other possible cause would be local trauma to muscle. Which needs to be thoroughly examined by your doctor and get treated. You may Need to get few test done depending on your examination findings, like CT of brain , x-ray of leg.
As your condition needs to get examined by doctor, better to consult doctor early.
Hope I answered your query. Feel free to ask further rated query.
