Dear Mr XXXXXXX XXXXXXX
I assume you meant numbness in the bum cheeks radiating down the legs followed by weakness in the legs. Correct me if I am wrong in the interpretation of what you meant to say.
These symptoms are unrelated to intake of protein milk shake. It's likely to be due to compression of nerve at the intervertebral disc space. I would like to know are you over weight?
I would suggest you the following which will definitely help
1. Bed rest for a week
2. Hot water fomentation
3. Tablet Neurobion forte twice a day
4. Tablet Miol Od once a day
If the pain persists then you will require further evaluation by MRI of spine
Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
Take care
