Question: I have had numbness and tingling sensation in my legs and feet. I have difficulty standing and walking.
Brief Answer:
Needs testing
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I am Dr Mittal.
I have read your message.
I think I can help you.
The symptoms of the query are quite suggestive of 2 possible causes.
1. a possible neuropathy.
2. a possible spine involvement .
I would suggest 2 tests to differentiate the 2.
1. Nerve conduction study.
2. MRI LS spine.
I think between the two tests we can confirm diagnosis and treatment can be started according to the reports.
I have tried to make it as simple as possible. I hope that the information contained in this message will be able to help you find the best solution for your problem. Best of luck. Dr Mittal.
