Suggest treatment for severe leg pain
Patient: I have selling of both ankles and feet and as well both legs ache. I do have some diagnosed bulging discs in my cervical spine at C5 and C6. Could this all be related or are the leg aches and feet swelling different. I have had blood work and the only thing it has show is higher than average levels of inflammation. Doctor: Hello,Thank you for using healthcaremagic.I read your question and understood your concern.I do not think that you ankle problem is related with the cervical spine bulging discs.I think this is more of an inflammation so I would reccomend you to see a rheumatology specialist to give you proper medication with antiinflamatory drugs.Also thyroid problems might give swelling of ankle and feet , so you should check the thyroid function with blood tests.I wish you quick recovery.Dr. Selmani
