General & Family Physician, Dr. Vasudha's Response
Hi, I understand your query. * The compressed nerve in neck is usually due to cervical spondylitis.. This causes pain/ weakness in the parts supplied by the affected nerve. * the pain in your leg in night may be due to weakness/ calcium deficiency/ lumber spondilitis. You need general investigations like CBC, BP check up,blood glucose, s. calcium, Xray spine, complete neurological examination. Please consult an orthopedic doctor/ nuro physicain to assess you r case. Thanks.
