Numbness In Legs, Side Of The Face, Dark Red Spots On Ankle. Tests Don't Reveal Anything. What Could It Be Due To?
Hi, My legs go numb when it s extremely warm outside and I have dark red spots on my ankle. I also have noticed that the side of my face starts going numb... Not like a stoke but still numb. I have had every test know to men done including a heart stress test and electro shocks to my legs. Nobody can tell me what s wrong. Everything is happening on the left side of my body. My feet swell to the extreme during warm season also? I can t afford any more test as the outcome is always the same.... More tests!
Hi,
The feeling of numbness may be due to deficiency of vitamin B 12 and Folic Acid. It may Teatanic contraction of muscles. You should check your Serum Vitamin B 12, Folic acid and Calcium levels or you should take some good multivitamins containing vitamin B12 and Folic acid for a period of 01 month that will surely relieve your symptoms.
I hope I am sucessful in solving your query If u have further you can ask me.
Take care
Get well soon.
Bye
Regards,
Dr. Azhar Sattar
