Could Prolapsed Disc On Right Hand Side Of Vertebrates Cause Constant Cramps In Right Leg?
I have constant cramp in my right leg which is a pain which never goes away I was wondering if the pain could be caused by my prolapsed discs on the right hand side of my vertebrates. Also I am on a 25mcg and a 12mcg patch of fentanyl duragesic patches. I also have injections between my vertebrates once. What will help the pain and why do I have the pain?

Dear Friend.
Hi , I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
Yes, a PIVD can cause nerve compression and can lead to tingling and numbness in legs.
However , A possibility of Restless leg syndrome co inciding with your PIVD should be considered.
This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you want to discuss your issues further, you may please ask me through Premium Query directed on my name. I will help you my best.
