Doctors’ responses

Hi Vijay ji, the symptoms you’re describing—numbness in legs and fingers, difficulty walking, pain after sitting, and sensation changes—could be related to nerve compression or neuropathy, possibly due to age-related spine issues or diabetes (even if undiagnosed). Given your age and asthmatic history, it’s important to consult a neurologist soon. They may recommend tests like MRI of the spine, nerve conduction studies, and blood tests to check for vitamin B12 deficiency or diabetes. In the meantime: • Avoid sitting too long in one position • Gentle leg stretches may help • Keep feet warm and protected Please don’t delay medical evaluation, as early treatment can prevent worsening.
