What Causes Numbness In Lower Legs And Stiffness In Knees With No Pain?

Diagnosed with MS 1 1/2 years ago, no symptoms except numbness in lower legs, knees stiff, no pain. when I take a hot shower it gets really worse. Play golf twice a week and shoot in low 80 s. Been told I have a virus in spine (lesion on MRI). Have had shingles years ago. Had a couple lesions on brain and took magnesium and after 8 months they were gone. HOW CAN I KILL THIS VIRUS IN SPINE?

Hi,

Get your blood sugar, thyroid profile and vitamin B12 checked as these are the most common causes of numbness without any pain. Also, get your knee X rays done.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Jaideep Gaver, Orthopedic Surgeon
