What Causes Numbness In The Feet And Thighs?

Hi -- I had shingles on my left side of my face in January -- lasted for four weeks -- terrible pain. A month ago I developed numbness in my feet, legs up to my thights and saddle area. MRI ruled out CES. Blood work ruled out Lyme disease. Can shingles cause this as a secondary problem?

Hi,

It can Ben due to neuropathic causes. Consult a neurologist and get evaluated. An MRI scan may be required for detailed evaluation.
