Right leg and foot numbing sensation
Hi I am new here. 53 yrs old and no period now for 13 months. Yay, so I thought. Yes , I have had many symptoms of menopause over the last 5 years but so far this is the most stressful one yet. This has been going on now for a week straight in my left leg and am of course freaking out. Please let me know if this is a symptom of menopause, please and why does this happen does anyone know ? Thanks, desperate for advice.
thank you for your information and knowledge. Much appreciated and helpful.

Hello,
It can be due to parasthesia which is due to dysfunctioning of neurons and can occur due to nerve irritation also. It can be due to diabetes, hypothyroidism, peripheral vascular disease, vitamin B12 deficiency, neurological causes or malnutrition.
Get your blood sugar, vitamin B 12 and thyroid hormones levels evaluated. Animal protein is the richest source of vitamin B 12 and if you are a vegetarian then you may be having vitamin B 12 deficiency. You can take some vit B12 for some days and see if the symptoms improve. If the symptoms persist then get an evaluation done from a physician and also get nerve conduction velocity tests done to rule out any nerve irritation.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
