What Causes Swelling And Tingling Sensation In The Right Leg And The Ankle?

my right ankle has been swelling for a couple weeks and now the lower leg (from the knee down) is also swelling. It also has a red color to it and seems warm when touched. Also there is a tingling sensation. All of this is gone in the morning when I first get up in the morning. Should I be worried?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

I have gone through your query. It may be due to nerve compression.

For further assessment you may require MRI back, nerve conduction studies, vit B12 level check after spine surgeon consultation.

You may require tablet Pregabalin, multivitamin after consultation.

For pain you can take tablet acetaminophen.

Do regular physical therapy.

Use support while walking.

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

Regards,
Dr. Shyam B. Kale, General & Family Physician
