My 81year old mother is experiencing numbness, and a cramping feeling in her L hip tolwer leg area. Her hx Diabetes, Obesity, Multiple disc surgeries in 1970 s. Most recent disc surgery 2013, resulting in permanent walker/wheelchair. Recent symptoms in last 3 month after having been in a chair for an hour at a time. Relieved after 15-30 minutes in supine position.
Hi, This is due to compression of nerves by prolapsed disc. As a first line management you can take analgesics like Diclofenac or Tramadol for pain relief. If symptoms persist better to consult a neurologist and get an MRI scan done. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
