Suggest Treatment For Leg Pain During The Night
My husband has been complaining of leg pain only at night. It goes down the entire leg. We ve been going to the pool in our community in the evening for about an hour. The water has been around 90 degrees. He seems to think this is contributing to the problem. Is that possible?

Hello,
As per your history, it may be due to peripheral neuropathy.
For further assessment you may require MRI back, vitamin B12 levels after orthopedician consultation.
You may require tablet Pregabalin and multivitamin after consultation.
Till then you can take tablet acetaminophen for pain.
Do regular physical therapy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
