Extreme weakness and tingling in legs
My mom is severely weak since 13 days now. Blood pressure is normal, sugar is normal. We got TCDC, ESR done. HB was slightly less (10.6) and we're giving Orofer for that. TSH was high. So, we've increased Eltroxin to 75mg from 50 mg. Discontinued sugar medicine as she's already feeling so much weakness. Blood pressure is normal. She complained of pain in one leg from waist. We are giving Nortryptomer for that and she's fine from that now. Only weakness remains. She complains of tingling all over hands and legs all day throughout. Please help.

Hi there are a couple of issues here. Firstly don’t discontinue any medication without consulting your doctor. Continue the sugar and thyroid medication. Tingling can be caused by neuropathies which are nerve related issues. Vitamin deficiency disorders like b12, vitamin d deficiency can cause symptoms of weakness and tingling. Check for these deficiencies and consult your doctor for further advise and supplementation. Diabetes medication like Metformin can cause vitamin b12 deficiency, lack of sun exposure causes vitamin d deficiency. Also with age women get osteoporosis which is bone degeneration which can sometimes cause bone related pain. Also do discuss with your doctor why her hemoglobin is less is it nutritional or related to blood loss, the complete blood count will help the doctor get some clue pertaining to this. Low hemoglobin or anemia itself can cause weakness.
