Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which is greatly affecting my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I visit the neurology department. I was wondering what the cause of muscle atrophy in my left leg with accompanying tingling pain is?Doctor's answer:
The situation you mentioned should be considered due to various different causes such as lumbar spine disease compressing the sciatic nerve or inflammation of the left leg nerve itself. It is necessary to promptly visit a regular public hospital's neurology department for a thorough check-up to confirm the diagnosis, identify the cause, and actively treat the primary condition with specialized doctors. Appropriate medications should be taken in conjunction with acupuncture, physical therapy, massage, and other methods to avoid worsening the condition.
