What Causes Numbness In The Left Leg After Blood Transfusion?

I had a blood transfusion on Thursday... since Friday night I’ve had cramping/numbness in my left leg. I’ve excercised if, took a bath, took Tylenol, and rested it. However, nothing I do gets the pain to subside or even minimize. Can you please advise?

Hello,

During transfusion your posture may be altered that may cause tingling of the limb. If it is transfusion reaction, it will come in both legs. Please consult your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.



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