What Causes Tingling Sensation And Numbness On The Left Thigh?
I am having tingling/numbness in my left thigh. It started yesterday when I was standing washing dishes. Once I sat down it quit. This afternoon it started back up, however, I was sitting at work. Also my left foot feels tingling too, like it fell asleep and my fingertips. My lower back doesn t hurt. Any ideas?
As per your complain you have problem of tingling sensation and numbness that may be because of diabetic neuropathy or other condition. Nerve irritation or compression may cause tingling sensation. Consult a physician for further diagnosis. MRI is helpful for further diagnosis. Detail history and physical examination will give exact idea.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
