Hello,

You have a history of Chronic lymphocytic leukemia along with LDDD. Presently you are having numbness & burning sensation in the upper thigh. It is indicative of some developing neuropathy.

You are suggested to visit a Neurologist & get physically examined. Keep the doctor informed about the medication you are taking & the illness you are suffering from. Sometimes drug interactions may cause nerve disorders.

Get all Nerve Conduction tests done, Nerve biopsy if required & Imaging tests done. In the meantime take vitamin B supplements with minerals.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Nupur K, General & Family Physician
