Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Could Pain And Burning Sensation In Leg,and Numbness In Foot Be Due To A Blood Clot?
my left leg started hurting last night half way between my knee and hip and when I laid down my foot went numb on bottom and toes but hurt on top then my leg started burning and hurting it has hurt and burned all day do you think it may be a blood clot
To my opinion, your legs are hurting and getting numbed due to any problem related to your leg nerves (neuropathy).
I advise to: - check your blood sugar level - run a Doppler ultrasound to rule out local blood clot - run neurological and muscular examinations to rule out neuropathy - run X-ray of knee to rule out knee arthritis
Depending on the tests results, specific treatment will be prescribed! Dr.Albana
