What Causes Tingling Sensation And Difficulty In Leg Movement?

Tingly skin, prickly, no temp, walking in cement boots, take 800mg motrin and the feeling goes completely away for about 12 hours. S/S present one week now. I can barely function until I get a motrin or tylenol on board. All tests are negative so far other than an A1c went from 5.5 to 6.1 in 6 months. No other s/s but when the feeling returns I can barely move/function. I have had a workup but nothing so far. Low normal thyroid.

Hi,

1. As unable to examine you physically and also a meticulous history can't be taken thus following is my opinion:
- Leg numbness is usually due to a lack of blood supply to an area or nerve damage and could result from either infection, inflammation, trauma, or any other abnormal processes
- Have a consultation with an Orthopedic surgeon since initially we have to differentiate whether they are cramps or claudications a and he may ask for investigations like:
- X-ray LS spine] for sciatica, osteoarthritis, disc prolapse, TB spine, osteoporosis]
- Have a consultation with a Medicine specialist to exclude high blood sugar [diabetes/ peripheral neuropathy]: [as A1c is rising], also calcium or salt deficiency, till then:
i. tablet calcium pantothenate 50 mg: twice daily or Inj. calcium gluconate 10 cc: slow intravenous daily for 3 days
ii. Tablet B complex: once daily
iii. Inj. Neurobion 2cc IM daily for 5-10 days
iv. If alcoholic, stop alcohol completely
v. If diabetic, control with plain insulin

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Munish Sood, Ayurveda Specialist
