I've noticed this strange numbness on the skin of my left kneecap in a small area about the size of a coin, and I can't remember injuring it recently. There's no pain, no issues with movement, and I'm not on any medication. I'm a bit puzzled about why it's happening. Could you shed some light on why the skin in that specific spot is numb?

I'm really worried about my mom. She's got sciatica, and the pain was just unbearable this morning, so she went to see a doctor. He gave her Pregabalin and Mecobalamin capsules to take. I totally get that the doctor knows his stuff, but I'm just a bit concerned since she also has high blood pressure. Are these capsules safe for her to take? I'd really appreciate any advice or reassurance.

yes continue the medications ..

I'm really worried because my mom started taking Martifur, just like her doctor said, but now she's experiencing a pretty bad burning sensation and her legs, along with the rest of her body, feel shaky and weak. Is this something we should be concerned about, or is it a normal side effect?

The severe burning sensation, shaky and weak legs, and body weakness your mother is experiencing while taking Martifur (a urinary tract antiseptic) are not typical side effects
