Is Degenerative Disc Disease Related With Fatigue And Tingling Sensations On Feet?

Hi, my father is 69 years old, he has degenerative disc disease as well as prostate enlargement problems. Lately, it has become harder for him to walk. He gets extreme fatigue in his legs, with tingling and numbness in his feet. He also gets cold sweats very often as well as severe pain in his lower right abdomen. Is this all related, or what could be causing his problems?

Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that your father is suffering from degenerative disease of spine. The tingling sensation in foot and numbness are related to this but abdominal pain may or may not be related to it. For pain abdomen you should get his sonography done to know the cause. For degenerative disease he is advised to take analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. Diacerine and glucosamine are helpful in it. Mecobalamine reduce tingling and numbness. You can discuss with your Doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you.
Wishing you good health. Take care.
