What Could Cause Numbness And Pain In Muscles?
Hi my name is XXXX and I was diagnosed with sorry paid of the liver. I have been noticing bruises on my legs, arms and stomach, that have taken a while to disappear. I have also noticed, that at times I the feeling of wanting to go to the restroom, but not poop comes out or its in fiber strips. I get cramps like I really need to go, but nothing comes. Sometimes there blood in the poop. My upper thighs go numb from standing to long in idle at work sometimes there s a feeling of wetness like sweat or blood, but my thighs are dry. My hands have also been stiffing up at times they lock up. The fingers do and it takes about a minute before I can stretch anthem out and use them again, but they hurt awfully bad. What s happening to me.

Hi,
Noted your history of liver disease, bruises that take time to disappear, stool problems with blood sometimes, cramps like wanting to go to bathroom, right upper thigh pain with weird sensation and so on.
Since you have liver problems the changes in bleeding, clotting or prothrombin time can modulate to have bruise.
I would advise you the following in such a situation:
Get the stool tests done.
Tests of blood and detailed function tests of liver, kidney and thyroid.
Vitamin K injections can help you to solve the bruise problems; treatment of liver disease after all relevant tests can help.
Laxatives of stool is hard.
The problems in fingers and limbs can be due to electrolyte imbalance.
Get the serum electrolytes also done and supplement if required.
Take rest for a few days for early recover.
Your Doctor on clinical examination can help you further with a proper diagnosis and management.
Full investigations of liver and why the bleeding occurs will be followed by an appropriate management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, General Surgeon
