Suggest Remedy For Numbness In Leg After Getting Up From A Resting Position
Hi, My right leg becomes numb after I sit down for like 30 minutes. My dad told me that it had the same issue when I was a kid, which the doctor said was due to being overweight. However the issue still persists even after losing a tremendous amount of weight. I now weigh 53kgs . Kindly advise on what I should do.
Hello, I have studied your case and I think that you might be having disc herniation with nerve compression. I would suggest you to get MRI of the spine to see if there is disc herniation and if yes then it is more then 50% or less. If it is less then 50% then you can be benefitted from back muscle strengthening exercises. if there is severe pain then you can take Pregabalin M at night time. If it is more then fifty percent disc herniation then you will need surgery. I hope this answer will be useful for you.Let me know if there is any other followup questions. thanks
