Why Is This Medication Given For Tingling Sensation In Thigh?
My mother has been advised to take Shelcal-CT as she feels tingling sensation in her right thigh...Also she was diagnoised with Diabetes recently which was above normal limits but not by huge margin... Can you help with why Shechal was prescribed & will it be okk to take it..
You should know that Shelcal-CT is a drug containing calcium and vitamin D supplements. It is really helpful in case of osteoporosis or vitamin D deficiency.
But, I don't think that the tingling in her right thigh is related to such disorder.
As she suffers from diabetes, it is very likely that her symptoms are caused by a peripheral nerve damage, probably a mononeuropathy or a pinched nerve.
For this reason, I would recommend performing a nerve conduction study. If the diagnosis is confirmed, I would advice starting treatment with gabapentine or pregabaline, to help improve her situation.
Hope you will find this answer helpful! Best wishes, Dr. Aida
