What Causes Nerve Pain And Shooting Pain Radiating Down The Legs?

I have had unexplained nerve pain with painful tingling and shooting pains down my legs and arms. My feet, knees, hands, and face swell with no known cause. The nerve test that was conducted a few years back was normal, and the allergist concluded my swelling was not die to an alergy. No one knows what truly is wrong with me. I also have unexplained stomach pain and nausea, as well as migraines.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have nerve pain and shooting pain radiating down the legs. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like nerve compression , sciatica or disc problem , I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order CT scan , MRI or nerve conduction test to confirm the diagnosis . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant along with anti inflammatory and nerve supplement like neurobion forte . Doctor may also recommend physical therapy . For now apply warm compresses , take proper rest and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain .

Hope your concern has been resolved.
