Suggest Treatment For Peripheral Neuropathy And Ruptured Discs In Lower Back

Do you have any idea what might have caused this?
Can you precise what area? Below the knee or all of the leg?
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this symptoms of being unable to lift your leg. It is so unfortunate that this has happened twice. It is most likely related to decreased blood flow to this area when you sit. I will advice you try to avoid folding/bending the legs as the nerves and blood supply are easily compromised. This leads to the nerve going numb and unable to execute commands. I must précise this is not stroke and should not send you panicking. For now, light exercises, massage and good postures will do. Patiently wait until your doctor is back unless something else comes up and we think it is necessary to get evaluated immediately.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
