Suggest Remedy For Severe Pain In Left Leg
I had heart cath done 2 days ago. No problems found. On 2nd day twice I ve had severe leg pain (left leg) in upper and side thigh. Also leg is numb about 4 inches down from knee and foot is numb. When I lay down my foot becomes so numb I cant move it and it gets cold. I place foot on floor and move it around it seems to awake some and I can move it, but goes back to being completely numb when lying back down. This is when the thigh pain sometimes happens. I ve tried elevating leg but same results.

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to sciatica pain.
I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to relieve the pain.
I also suggest gentle stretching exercises.
If the symptoms continue, I suggest to see a neurologist for further evaluation.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
