Suggest Treatment For Cramps And Numbness In The Leg
I have been having leg cramps and numbness on my L leg for 3 days now, the first day was bad cramps and numbness, then the 2nd day and today is more on pressure to the same leg, less cramping. Do I need to have a Doppler to check on what s going on there?
I will advise get serum electrolytes done with fasting blood sugar done to rule out diabetes and low potassium levels in your body with this we can come to a diagnosis have plenty of fluids with coconut water if intensity of cramps increase meet an orthopaedician see if u need an mri due to spinal cord compression
