Suggest Treatment For Pain And Extreme Discomfort In Leg
Yes please. I am experiencing pain and extreme discomfort in my lower left leg. It alleviates somewhat if I sit with my leg up, or after being in bed for the night; but it bcomes very painful upon a short walk from the bedroom to the kitchen. Thempain radiates down from my knee to my ankle, and my foot goes totally knumb and is icey cold to the touch. What I do?

I think you are having sciatic nerve compression. I would suggest you to get MRI of the spine to confirm the diagnosis. You need to take pregabalin and Methylcobal tablet for pain relief after discussing with your doctor.
