What Causes Numbness In Feet And Legs?

My husband is experiencing numbness in his feet and legs and has exhaustion. So far no doctor can figure it out. Also, everything he eats tastes sweet but he has no appetite and has lost 15 lbs in just over two weeks. Blood tests and CT scan are normal. Do you have any idea ?

Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that your husband may be having vitamin deficiencies. He should get vitamin B12,Vitamin D3 test to know the cause. thyroid function test blood sugar and neurological tests should be done to know the cause. He may get benefits from EvionLC and Mecobalamine. vitamin D3 supplements may be of use if it is low. Analgesic such as ibuprofen are useful for pain relief. You can discuss your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. You can also write to me directly on below link:
