Lately, I've been experiencing this annoying tingling and numbness in my left hand and leg. It's mostly when I'm sitting or trying to sleep, and it's accompanied by some lower back pain. Walking seems to alleviate it, but the discomfort kicks back in when I'm stationary. It's getting pretty irritating, so I was wondering if you could suggest what I might do to ease this. Any medicine ideas or other ways to find some relief?

Your symptoms may be suggestive of neuropathy. The cause of the neuropathy may be various reasons, which will require investigations to be confirmed. You may require imaging studies to rule out referred pain from spinal cord abnormalities or evaluation of your blood sugar values to rule out diabetic neuropathy.

I'm experiencing this strange sensation whenever I go to bed and move around, it feels like there's movement, and then when I stand up, my feet feel like they're moving too. I've been taking Neurocetam Plus as advised by my ENT doctor for the last 17 days, but this keeps happening every 8 to 10 days. The good news is that the sensation seems to become less intense each time it occurs, but it's still really concerning me. Any thoughts on what might be going on or what I should do next?

you continue medicine, it take time to cure.

I've been feeling a lot of shivering in my body recently, and it's been making me a bit anxious. Sometimes it's like an internal shivering, and other times it's just my hands or leg that start to shake. It's really starting to worry me, and I'm not sure what's causing it or what I should do. Could you give me some advice on this?
