Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.
There is possibility of transient ischemic episode or stroke leading to motor weakness/pain on arm and leg.
You may need clinical examination to confirm neurological weakness, BP and other vital parameters.

Another probability is due to compression of this nerve root there is pain radiating to your leg and arm.
You may require MRI brain and spine.
Diabetes and smoking leads to constriction of blood vessels leading to infection and weakness.
So it is advisable to do colour Doppler limb to see vascular status.

For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
