Started this morning ive never felt this before o was wondering since my leg felt sensative could it be a blood clot...i was driving when it started and i kept thinking it was my cellphone and it wont go away
Brief Answer:
It is neuropraxia
Detailed Answer:
hello ,
It is neuropraxia and it occurs due to nerve compression at knee joint. It can happen when some one drives as knee remain in same position for long time. It is not due to clot for sure. I would recommend you to gentle massage that part with a ointment like capsaicin or voletran.
It will improve with in a day or two. You can also take Vitamin B 12 tablets after discussing with your doctor.
If you feel that this is not improving or it is also causing weakness in leg then I would recommend you to investigate this by EMG testing.
I hope this answer will be helpful for you. Let me know if there is any followup question.
Thanks
