Suggest Treatment For Grand Mal Seizures And Leg Pain

I have Grand Mal seizures. This morning in bed I had a bad seizure. I felt like I usually feel after a bad seizure - tired, weak and everything seemed foggy. However, when I got out of bed I noticed that my left leg did not want to raise up and my left leg hurt if I tried to even bend it. This has never happened before. I did take an Ativan What are your thoughts? Also, I have been told that there are lesions on both sides of the frontal lobe that have grown significantly. Furthermore, ten hours later my left legg still feels numb and if I even try to bend it.

Hi,

I am Dr.Bruno. I have read your question with care and understand your concerns. Let me try to help you

// However, when I got out of bed I noticed that my left leg did not want to raise up and my left leg hurt if I tried to even bend it. This has never happened before//
This is most probably post ictal palsy

//Also, I have been told that there are lesions on both sides of the frontal lobe that have grown significantly. Furthermore, ten hours later my left legg still feels numb and if I even try to bend it.//
I would suggest you to consult a Neurosurgeon and Opt for Minimally Invasive Biopsy of those lesions - either under stereotaxy or under neuro navigation

Hope you found the answer helpful.

If you need any clarification / have doubts / have additional questions / have follow up questions, then please do not hesitate in asking again. I will be happy to answer your questions.
