2 Jan I had pain in both calves and feet and non stop sweating. Feet felt very cold so it was back to the hospital thinking it could be bold circulation.
Dr tells me my legs and feet are warm and all circulation seems fine.

He then decided to do a pin test. Outcome was definite reduced sensation in right leg and foot. He wrote a report and told me to see mt GP ASAP.

3 Jan saw my GP who agreed and did a referral for a neuro and has put me on lyrica.

Now both legs and feet have numb spots and I am still looking at about a 3 month wait.

GP is hoping it is injury related due the sudden onset and my history of disk bulge on the L4, L5. Very frustrated since I have wasted my leave (first real holiday in years), haven't been at work this year and am still to find out anything.
