mysticdoc :

hello,

mysticdoc :

thanks for your question.

mysticdoc :

do you have any other medical condition?

Customer :

high blood pressure

mysticdoc :

ok

mysticdoc :

do you have any weight problem?

Customer :

6 foot tall 225 lbs. I am sure I am carrying a few extra pounds

Customer :

I take metoprolol 100 mg a day and 81mg asprin

mysticdoc :

k

mysticdoc :

your symptoms are likely from nerve involvement.

mysticdoc :

sensory nerve compression can cause these sensations.

mysticdoc :

this either from lower back pain or from the weight related nerve compression.

mysticdoc :

you can try stretching exercises at your lower back & hips

Customer :

Well, that make sense. I have a pain in my hip that radiates down to my upper calf.

mysticdoc :

yes, you likely having nerve impingement at the hip.

mysticdoc :

you may consider physical therapy as well.

Customer :

on left side the warm sensation is in my right thigh

mysticdoc :

yes, that is common if especially if you also have lower back problem.

mysticdoc :

besides arthritis can affect both the hips.

mysticdoc :

over use of the 'better side' also another precipitating factor.

Customer :

cant raise my left leg as high as my right... I guess I had better start stretching

mysticdoc :

yes, only after you see a physical therapist.

Customer :

It is the pits getting old....thanks

mysticdoc :

welcome

Customer :

I will set an appointment up next week

mysticdoc :

sounds good.

Customer :

Done..thanks
