Patient: I am 18 weeks pregnant and I have been having a wide spread feeling of numbness that started in my lower back about 2 weeks ago now it has spread down both legs and is starting to go into my left arm I had an MRI come back normal but this doesn t feel normal this is my 4 th pregnancy Doctor: Hi, Dr Purushottam Neurgaonkar here. I welcome you to HCM VIRTUAL CLINIC. I have gone through your question, and I think I have understood your concern. I will suggest you the best possible treatment options. I will suggest use of calcium supplements and  via min D 3  along with good quality protein. Many times as pregnancy advances     deficiency of these items and changes of posture during the pregnancy lead to nerve Compression and numbness.I will suggest to adopt correct posture . This will help to minimise numbness .I hope this answer helps you. Thanks Dr Purushottam Neurgaonkar.
