Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I've had numbness from the waist to my feet on both sides for about a week. I also feel pressure in my abdomen. During the night, I feel a sharp pain in my low back on the right side. I feel better with my legs propped up. I also feel better sitting down. When I walk, my legs feel heavy. I'm not having trouble swallowing or breathing. And my bladder and bowels are functioning fine. Can numbness be caused in both legs from a pinched nerve? Should I take naproxen to see it that helps? Thanks.
