Numbness In Hands And Feet, Sore Calf, Lumps In Vein Behind Knee. Family History Of MS, PCOS. What Is The Cure?
Hello. I am a 47 year old female in good health. I exercise fairly regularly, depending on my work schedule. I have no medical history other than an appendicitis 3 years ago and a hysterectomy 2 years ago. I have a family history of MS (father), polycystic (father, aunts, cousins) and a sister who suffers from neuropathy. My father was diagnosed with MS while in his forties. I am experiencing numbness in my hand and feet. My right leg is especially numb and the calf is occasionally sore. The discomfort runs up my leg and I do feel small lumps in the veins behind my right knee. Do you have any suggestions? YYYY@YYYY

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
You are rally doing fine, you gave history of your family members but it is not related with your complain, your problems may be due to some uneven compression during exercise or in routine activity, little relaxing exercise(Physiotherapy) will give good relief the lump like swelling which you have noticed may not be it self in vein but could be a superficial and might be lipoma, and nothing to worry for that, have nice day.
