Question 1

mild decreased signal in nucleus pulposus and bulging in t6-7. t7-8, t8-9, and t9-t10. does this cause my arm and leg weakness and tingling?

Accepted Answer

T spine : Unusual  for bulging discs in thoracic area to produce leg numbness. Arm sxs can not be caused by thoracic spine discs issues as those nerves exit spinal cord above that level . Must look for other causes.

Question 5

2 years ago i was on zyprexa. it caused tingling in my lower legs and feet when walking. climbing up & downstairs i had leg weakness. guillain-barre?

Accepted Answer

Very Unlikely: The reports of Zyprexa causing Guillan Barre Syndrome a serious neurological condition is highly suspect and unlikely in my opinion.And you are talking of having taken Zyprexa 2 years  ago and was never diagnosed with this serious condition and your symptoms of leg weakness and tingling are so non specific.I will say it is highly unlikely.If  you have any symtoms now consult a neurologist

Many causes: Parasaggital brain lesion, compression of spinal cord at the neck or mid back, lumbar stenosis, peripheral neuropathy, muscle disease, myasthenia gravis, multiple sclerosis, endocrine disorders, vitamin deficiencies, etc.  These are examples, and if you wish more information go to   www.Aan.Com.

Question 8

what can cause me to have sudden leg weakness at martial arts class?

Accepted Answer

Several things: This problem mandates a real-time (face-to-face) meeting with a doctor.  A history has to be taken along with a examination as well as labs and other tests.  Only after all this will your doctor be in a position to tell you what's wrong and what needs to be done to help you.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Yes: Corticoid axis disturbance can cause these.

Question 10

what can cause bi lateral generalised leg weakness with difficulty to step up without grabbing pain in top of leg . r worse and calf mus hurts ?

Accepted Answer

Get evaluated.: Please see your doctor about this. Unless you are having other symptoms you haven't mentioned, i wonder if you are having a nerve impingement in your lower spine area. Your doctor will likely perform a neurologic screening exam, and possibly recommend a ct or MRI to rule out spinal stenosis or other nerve impingement problems. You need to be seen about this. Good luck. Lgromkomd.
