What Causes Radiating Pain In Tooth, Right Leg, Foot And Abdomen?
Question: I have "toothache" type pain which run down entire right leg into foot. Starts in abdomen and runs down right side of leg into side of lower leg into top of foot. Hand goes numb sometimes. When try to lift leg my leg seems very heavy
Brief Answer:
This problem originated from the back.
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this pain that you have described. This is typical of a possible nerve compression at the level of the spinal cord as they exist to innervate the limbs. I will suggest you follow up with your doctor on this. You will probably need Imaging of the lower spine to identify what the possible causes(s) are. Treatment may require physical therapy, medications and in some cases, surgery as last option. Best physician to talk to is a neurosurgeon.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.
