What Does The Numbness In Foot, Lower Back Ache And Lump On My Calf Indicate?
I have a soft lump kind of squashy almost on my right calf to the side and it feels like a dull ache, I would not say pain but an ache, I also have pain in my upper back kind of my lungs but at the back, my leg does nit hurt at all when I sit down but my back hurts more. I do suffer with back ache but lower and this is upper from the top of my spine and hurts more when I relax at night. I also have some numbness in my foot...any idea
Namasthe Welcome to Healthcare-Magic Greetings of the day
I would consider the probability of prolapsed intervertebral disc as cause of symptoms. I would suggest the following
1. Consult Orthopaedic Surgeon who would like to do an MRI spine to look for disc prolapse and nerve compression 2. Absolute bed rest till the symptoms subside is advisable to prevent worsening of neurological symptoms is advisable. 3. Analgesic like Diclofenac Sodium will provide the much neede relief. 4. Oral Cyanocobalmine(Vitamin B12) will be beneficial
In case you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
Wishing you happy and healthy life
Take Care
