have had an internal examination of bowel with ultrasound and was advised may feel a tingle down my legs suggesting nerve involvement in the event only sensation I experienced was the throb of heart beat could this be indicative of nerve damage? thankyou
Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! I understand your concern, and would like to explain that it is normal to feel a throbbing heart beat during this examination. It is not related to any nerve damage, and all the healthy persons experience this feeling. It may be related to anxiety and to the abdominal pressure during the examination. As far as you didn't feel any tingling in your legs, it means that your nerves are not affected by any disorder (or compressed). So there is nothing to worry about! Hope to have been helpful! Feel free to ask any other questions, whenever you need! Greetings!
