Need Medicine For Numb Area On The Knee

I woke up this morning with a numb area the size of my palm on the inside of my left knee. It feels like the area is slightly larger now. I ve been treated for the last two weeks for a slipped disc in my back with a decreasing dose of a steroidal anti-inflammatory. This happened two days after the last dose.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi , In my opinion the problem of numb patch in the knee is related to slipped disc at L3-4 level. Start a combination of pregabalin and methycobalamin , + pain killers and get an MRI of lower back to confirm the diagnosis and see the size of disc prolapse.
