Recent easy bruising and swelling for small injuries to the hand. I have neuropathy in my feet--no diabetes. I have been having some weakness and trembling in my legs recently. The only medication I am on is phentermine 1/2 cap which equals about 18 mg. per day. I had an injury to the hip area, causing bursitis which I am getting physical therapy for. These new symptoms seem something to be concerned about. Your thoughts...
Hi, Thank you for posting your query.First, I would like to reassure you that the new symptoms are not something to get concerned about. However, they require evaluation to find out the cause and start treatment. We need to do a glucose tolerance test to exclude impaired glucose tolerance. The severity of peripheral neuropathy can be assessed by a clinical examination and nerve conduction studies. You may benefit from pregabalin capsules to relieve the neuropathy symptoms, and vitamins such as B12 and folate may help in nerve healing. I hope it helps. Please get back if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor. Ly/
