Suggest treatment for numbness and tingling sensation on face and extremities
Patient: I ve had my SED rate running in the high 60-75 since last summer when I was supposedly diagnosed with an infection in my stomach. I ve had several tests and ruled out RA, no diabetes, and several other diseases. I keep going to my Dr for multiple complaints of pain, swelling, numbness tingling in extremeties and face, weakness, stumbling and a fall, difficulty with memory and speech, involuntary leg jerking at rest, pain in lower back and knees, and pain in arms and legs/knees. My Dr said I was just depressed and had anxiety. Now I m having vision problems and there have been days where I couldn t get out of bed or walk? I don t know what to do!
