Suggest Remedy For Persistent Abdominal Cramping And Numbness In Legs
Question: A 16 year old male friend of mine says he has lower left abdominal cramping and his left leg goes blue and numb is it isn't elevated.
Brief Answer:
Needs urgent work up if you really mean legs get cyanosed and blue
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. Legs numbness and cyanosis is a serious sign and should be rushed to emergency. As it indicates limb ischemia and vascular insufficiency and needs urgent management.
Get your friend to ER and let them sort it out for you. They will run some scans of limb, like doppler and duplex studies and they will tell you what it is. Ruling out any vascular insufficiency is very necessary now .
I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
