I have a dead feeling spot on my leg. The longer i am on my feet and moving it burns like someone holding a fire to it. It has been this way for awhile but seems to be moving upwards and getting bigger.. Cant afford a MRI. Was just wondering if there is sometting ican do at home to relive it.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

I believe it can be related to a lumbar spinal issue. Probably a herniated disc. I can suggest you to do an x-ray at least if you can't effort an MRI.

You may start to take anti-inflammatory drugs such as advil or naproxen for pain relief and to reduce inflammation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Olgeta Xhufka, General & Family Physician
