Blood test for calf pain
My vitamin D deficiency has been corrected after 3 months of Uprise D3, but I still have calf pain and tingling sometimes although it's less than before. Which routine tests should I get now? Should I check serum magnesium, vitamin B12, calcium, potassium, thyroid (TSH), or any other tests?
Disc bulge and nerve compression
For more than 1 year I have been suffering from back and left leg pain and numbness in my leg, I went to a spine surgeon and took an MRI and came to know that I have mild to moderate disc bulge along with nerve compression and prescribed a pain killer, muscle relaxant and supplements for a month. Earlier the pain was more like intense tiredness like pain now the pain which I am having for the last 2 days is like shooting pain going from my buttock to my calf , I don't know if my symptoms are improving or not, I am still getting pain and numbness and I am worried that why the pain and numbness is not going. 15 days are left in my medicine to finish the course. Please help, thank you
