What Causes Pain And Numbness In The Leg After Using Pethidine?

Hi 6 years ago I had pethidine during labour and experienced pain and numbness in my leg, which eased off a little but I ve always had a stinging sensation in my leg I touched it. But for the last couple of months my leg has been aching more or less all day and is worse if I sit with legs up or lie down. I am getting pain all down my whole leg to my foot. Do you have any idea what this could be and of it is linked to the pethidine.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the leg pain then it may not be due to the Pethidine but it could be due to muscular spasm and it can be tried with Tab Chlorzoxazone once in day, drink more water, and stop worrying and hope this information helps.
