Neurologic: GERD or Nexium does not cause the type of symptoms you are describing. I am concerned as to why a young male ( unless you have been a vegan for many years) would develop iron-deficiency anemia. Your best bet is to consult a neurologist. The fact that the entire half (including the face) is affected however does not make sense neurologically either.

I find it difficult to describe this feeling. I feel some slight burning sensation on my outer side of the leg and sometimes it goes up to my hand. It is not a pain as such and is now spreading in the inside of the leg and foot?
