Severe pain in left leg
My father is having severe pain in his left leg starting from the knee part to the index finger of his toe. He says it might be neurotic, but he is not confirmed abour it. He is taking diabetic medicines on daily basis. He also says that after massage therapy the pain reduces but after a while it starts again.
