Question 2

i am experiencing  back pain (side: lower) , back injury, reduced spinal flexibility, sciatica, pain shooting down the leg, calf pain and foot numbness. the following also describe me: leg numbness, leg weakness, leg tingling, leg pain, and muscle cramps

Accepted Answer

Sciatica: See a neurologist a physician with expertise in nerves. The symptoms of leg numbness, weakness, tingling are due to nerve impingement.
There are various meds, treatments for sciatica. Orthopedics also deals with these symptoms
Start with your PCP and move forward with getting these symptoms resolved to start feeling better.

Question 3

what might cause pain in the calf and foot numbness?

Accepted Answer

Caution: Whenever there is pain in the calf it is prudent to rule out a deep vein thrombosis or clot. The foot numbness may or may not be related. There are nerves that run down the leg and end in the foot so impingement on the nerve can cause foot numbness. Sometimes, the etiology might actually come from the back. See a doc for a proper exam.

Question 4

pain in right upper thigh slightly abv knee (inner side) and calf with foot numbness on and off and extreme knee pain when sitting, no clots, ideas?

Accepted Answer

Knee, hip, back: If the thigh problem is immediately above the knee this could be a knee problem (cartilage, bakers cyst, joint problem). Knee pain rarely radiates up the leg. Anything higher up is unlikely to be knee. This could also be referred pain from the hip or back.  A good physical examination by someone experienced with these problems should give you the answer.

Question 5

a vein in right calf n thigh pains with foot numbness, i happens when i walk and goes off after taking rest,please advise medication/remedy please?

Accepted Answer

Nerve,vein or muscle: Are you certain that a vein is the culprit? With associated numbness the problem could be with a pinched nerve from a spinal disorder like a disc problem. It's best to have your physician examine you and order the appropriate tests such as ultrasound of the leg veins or MRI of the spine if necessary.

Question 6

what can cause leg pain & foot numbness?

Accepted Answer

Several things: Problems like these can only be correctly handled by your doctor in person.  He/she needs to listen to you, perform an examination and possibly run labs or other tests. That's the only way he/she can find out what's going on and what to do about it.

Question 7

what can cause aching pain on the right leg and slight foot numbness?

Accepted Answer

There are a few: Things that can cause this. The one i would be most concerned about is that you do not have a clot in your leg which potentially may cause both symptoms you mention. This would be considered a medical emergency. If the aching pain in the leg is in your calf then i would advise you seek medical attention immediately.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Question 9

best way to treat foot numbness & lower leg weakness?

Accepted Answer

It depends: The cause of the weakness and numbness needs to be determined before rendering treatment.

Question 10

foot numbness + leg pain + new visible vein. what does that indicate?

Accepted Answer

See MD: Those signs and symptoms by themselves are fairly nonspecific. Even when when they occur together they do not point to a single diagnosis.

If your pmd cannot treat this i would suggest that you be seen by an orthopedic foot and ankle surgeon. One in your area can be found at www.Aofas.Org.
