What Causes Vibration Type Sensations And Stiffness In Right Leg?

Posted on Sat, 26 Sep 2015

Question: Hi,
Sometime I feel vibration in my right leg thigh which is happening since 3-4 months. It seems like I kept a XXXXXXX phone on Vibration mode on my thigh. Also whenever I do running, swimming, Playing Badminton etc. I feel some stiffness in veins in my right leg or some pain or some muscular pains. Sometime I get muscle cramp as well. Please advice.

I also noticed there is decrease of hair density in the front side on my head. Under the bulb someone can easily see the scalp through my hair.

Minoxidil and methylcobalamine

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.
You have mentioned about two problems.
1. Regarding pain, cramps and numbness.
This happens due to problem in nerve conduction and deficiency of calcium.
I advice you to take calcium and methylcobalamine supplements daily for a month.
This should give you relief.
2. Regarding hair fall
Try minoxidil scalp solution. it is time tested and very good medication to control hair fall and is also available over the counter.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.

Brief Answer:
Safe drugs

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the follow up.
Minoxidil and methylcobalamine are safe.
Methylcobalamine is required for synthesis of nerve sheath,
A deficiency of Methylcobalamine can lead to improper conduction in nerves which leads to feeling of numbness or pain at different times.
Calcium deficiency causes cramps as calcium is required for proper muscle relaxation.
You can continue with calcium and in place of multivitamin take methylcobalamine tablet.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
