What is the reason for leg numbness in a BP patient?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Sorry to know regarding your symptoms. Numbness of one leg occurs because of a peripheral nerve issue or a spinal nerve issue. The sugar report (HbA1c) is normal.

1. Is there numbness on the backside of the left leg or the front side, and is it radiating?
2. Is there any pain associated?
3. Do you have access to an NCV (nerve conduction velocity) test?

Please take Vitamin B 12 supplement once daily. For numbness, you have to take Pregabalin 75 milligrams once daily at night (after NCV).

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

If there is radiation, it could be a sciatic nerve issue. But looking on the other side, if it is extending to upper body parts, it is a little odd because one peripheral nerve (sciatic in this case) will rise from the lower back to the leg, and it is rare to have multiple nerves involved. So, if upper body parts are concerned, I will need a little more detail regarding that. Will you get Pregabalin because it is the only available prescription drug from a physician? Vitamin B 12 dosage will be 1500 mcg (micrograms). Your total cholesterol is a little high, which needs weight reduction and diet management, and it will not require any drug at present if you reduce around three to five kg in two months with an excellent physical exercise regimen and diet therapy because it is just borderline.

Thank you.
