I have a tingling numbness in my lower leg which has been there for a week now. It varies throughout the day some times better sometimes worse. There is no obvious external signs and no temp difference between legs. a week ago i was heavily bitten by mosquitos while on holiday but all the bites have healed.

Neurologist,  's  Response
Hello,

Your symptoms could be related to peripheral nerve damage. For this reason, I would recommend consulting with a neurologist for a physical exam and performing a nerve conduction study (electroneurography) to examine your nerves.

Considering the mosquito bites, I would recommend performing also a complete blood count and PCR levels for inflammation. You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Aida Quka
