What Causes Numbness In Leg After A Knee Injury?

See a neurologist!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about these symptoms of loss of sensitivity that you have described. These symptoms are suggestive of a nerve damage. Probably the knee injury affected some of the nerve fibers destined to innervate this area. Did you have any difficulties raining this toe upward?
I will suggest that you consult a neurologist who would clearly map out which of the nerve fibers are damaged that may explain this. Unfortunately, nerve damage rarely has a complete recovery or cure. Physical therapy on how to cope with the condition is the best available means of addressing this condition.
In all, these symptoms are probably explained by nerve damage. This most likely occurred about the same time the knee injury was sustained.
I hope this addresses your query fully. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.


I have asked my PCP to set up a referral to a neurologist based on you comments that support my own feelings. Thank you.
Thank you too!
