What Else Besides Norco Can Be Given For Numbness And Burning Sensation In Legs After An Injury?
I have a friend that is 76 and she just fell on her right upper leg area and she is having burning, numbness and feet are numb. She feels dizzy and she took 2 Norco after her fall. What should we do? I took her vitals and they are within normal range.
