I was diagnosed with viral meningitus 2 1/2 weeks ago and was in the hospital for 4 days.  I was given the anti-viral Acyclovir and morphine in the hospital and then one week of acyclovir for 7 days after I was released.  My problem is that since about the 3 day I was in the hospital, I have been numb from approximately my pubic bone around to my tailbone, down the back of my right leg and the bottom and outside of my right foot.  I have been to a neurologist, but he really could not tell me anything.  Is this numbness normal or what should I do next??
Hi, it appears to be due to the ischemia, of brain during viral meningitis. The tests may not be clear for diagnosis. Or there could be some compression of the sciatic nerve and right Iliad nerve, during the course of the treatment.  You may get the things corrected in the course of time. I to my patient with such symptoms prescribe neurotrophic injections for 10 consecutive days, and to be continued on injection every week. Along with other medicines.  Thank you.
