Why Am I Experiencing Tingling Sensation On The Right Side Of The Body Especially In The Leg?
Question: Am expieriencing tingling on right side of body especially in the leg.
Brief Answer:
Further evaluation is necessary.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Tingling may be a neurological symptom of pinched nerve if it follows a distribution along with the nerve dermatome (territory).
In cases of involvement of the one side of the body, a group of nerves may be compressed in the spinal cord or brain.
The first step in understanding better your condition is an evaluation by your primary care Doctor.
If compression of the spinal cord or a part of the brain is suspected after this evaluation, imaging studies ( MRI ) may be necessary.
Please discuss with your Doctor about these issues.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care.
