What Is The Solution For Complete Numbness And Pain In Left Leg After Suffering Intermittent From Stomach Ache?
Before Christmas I was suffering with some on off pains in my stomach mid level and slightly to my right. These pains have steadily become more consistent and slightly more painful. Iv lost appetite and my passing of stool which I could set my watch by previous to December has become somewhat irratic.I m 31 years old and had a hernia op around 3 years ago, keyhole surgeries on both sides plus one in the centre just below my belly button although the pain is not really in these areas I thought the information maybe of some use. Anyway just before I went to bed I had a sort of numb feeling in my left thigh a couple of hours later the whole of my left leg, hip to heel, is now dead and becoming quite painfull.

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe you had hernia operation, and 3 other button hole surgeries. One or 2 among them might have adhesions and may be causing pain.
I advise you to consult a gastro enterologist for diagnosis and treatment. You may need to have M.R.I. for diagnosis. Laprotomy and diagnosis also may become necesory.
Avoid taking spices, junk foods, and oily foods.Also avoid un timely foods to avoid gastro intestinal irritation.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
