Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have a leg ache on my right side that goes up and down from the hip. I had MRI and it was determined that I may have a slight blockage that causes the pain. Could it be Factor 5 lite as this is in our family...(my brother, niece and maybe more). Please give some opinions. Changed my mind....I do not need the answer as it is going to cost me ...and I do not have money. Thanks anyway.
Hello , I am Dr. Mody and I would be addressing your concern . 2 posibilities here . Any disc prolapse in your spine , This would compress the nerve which supplies the lower limb and cause the pain you describe . The MRI of lower spine should rule that out . Physiotherapy is the initial treatment here . With factor V deficiency one is prone to clot formation more in the veins but also in the arteries of the body. If the pain of severe and or recent onset it's worthwhile going to your doctor and get things evaluated because if it's the clot it can put the limb in jeopardy. Regards Dr. Mody
