<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.Hi, My right leg becomes numb after I sit down for like 30 minutes. My dad told me that it had the same issue when I was a kid, which the doctor said was due to being overweight. However the issue still persists even after losing a tremendous amount of weight. I now weigh 53kgs . Kindly advise on what I should do.  <response>: Hello, I have studied your case and I think that you might be having disc herniation with nerve compression. I would suggest you to get MRI of the spine to see if there is disc herniation and if yes then it is more than 50 or less. If it is less than 50 then you can be benefitted from back muscle strengthening exercises. If there is severe pain then you can take Pregabalin M at nighttime. If it is more than fifty percent disc herniation than you will need surgery. I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. Thanks
