I am Joseph (Male,56) in Nairobi, Kenya. I have a problem spanning about 20 years. I feel a dull pain on my left side from the lower left abdomen down the left leg. In my description it is not debilitating, but it is an inconvenience. If I twist my waist to make me feel the pain, I aggravate the muscle (or nerve?) making it more painful the next day, right inside the left buttock muscles, which seems to be the centre of the pain. Actually there is no pain in the left leg, but I feel a slight but permanent numbness at the tip of my big left toe. It all started as a burning sensation at the sole of my left foot, those days I could feel it progress up the left leg until the groin area. About seven years ago I had a sudden twist in my digestion making it bad. I thought I had amoeba but was confirmed negative in hospital. I had a long period of feeling the need to drink water at night and lacking sleep due to the indigestion. I could not sleep on the tummy, it was as if it was swollen. Generally my stool has been browner than before ever since. Digestion has improved greatly by observing certain practices like eating less food and eating early before sleep, eating food with less cooking oil and I am able to sleep well now. Overall I can say there is much improvement but something need to be diagnosed in the muscles, blood vessels or nerves. The only other issue I normally feel is general back pain especially if I stain in the course of my work, and this may be or may be not related to the above. Sincerely, Joseph.
