Morning all. I know we are not doctors etc.
I woke up a couple of days ago to a very large numb patch on my right calf. The patch has grown and now I have a smaller patch on the left side. I did have a bit of leg ache on the right side, but that has gone.
I am thinking sciatica. But there is always diabetic neuropathy, although I have always associated that more with feet. Not to mention a whole host of nasties with long names.
I will try and get a gp appt if it doesn't go away, and I have high hopes of being seen before the autumn. In the meantime, could anyone with personal experience of neuropathy tell me if it sounds similar? Likewise sciatica. Many thanks.
