I'm experiencing this strange internal vibration or buzzing sensation throughout my body, especially in my legs. It really becomes noticeable when I'm sitting or lying down almost like an electric current running through me. I've been on PPIs like ranitidine, rabeprazole, and omeprazole recently, though I only took the first two for a day each and omeprazole for four days. They also prescribed gabapentin, but I haven't tried it yet because I'm worried about the side effects. It's been weeks now, and while I initially thought this was all due to some acidity or acid reflux, what scares me more is my muscle mass seems to be disappearing. I can press or pull my muscles too easily, and sometimes I feel weak or numb and even have trouble breathing while reading or studying. What's going on with me?

View allI've been feeling like my head is spinning and my vision is kind of shaky for the past two weeks. I got my CBC test done, and I noticed my monocyte value is at 0. Can you help me understand how this might relate to what's going on with my health? I'm quite worried about it.
yes

I'm really concerned about my mom. She's been feeling this odd sensation and burning in her left leg, specifically between the knee and thigh. I was doing some reading online and it seems really similar to something called Meralgia Paraesthetica. This all started after she had laparoscopic surgery for gallbladder stones back in October 2016. It's not always there, but when it does show up, it seems to be happening more often now. I'm really hoping for some advice on how we could help her feel better. Should we be seeing a certain type of doctor for this?
The symptoms your mother describes could indeed align with **Meralgia Paresthetica**, which occurs due to compression of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve. I recommend consulting a **neurologist** for a detailed evaluation. In the meantime, measures like avoiding tight clothing, maintaining a healthy weight, and physical therapy may help alleviate symptoms.

I'm experiencing some stiffness in my lower back and there's pain that's running through my right leg. Occasionally, my right leg even feels numb. There are also weird sensations in my lower back. I've already done an X-ray and MRI, which showed that there's a disc bulge and the disc is compressed. What do you think might be going on, and what should I do next?
That could be Lumbago, maintain proper posture and get physiotherapy done, avoid lifting heavy weights take adequate rest
