Feeling Of Numbness In Leg, Have Osteo Arthritis In Back And Knees. How To Get Cured?
Aside from the feeling of numbness, it feels like my legs are going to give out. I do have osteo arthritis in my back and knees, if that adds any needed info. This sensation has only happened about three times, and it only lasts about 30- 60 seconds.

Hi,
From history it seems that your problem might be due to osteoarthritis of back vertebrae giving rise to pressure symptoms on nerves giving rise to these sensations.
Nothing to worry, go for physiotherapy like back extension exercise, short way diathermy and even lumber traction after consulting your doctor.
Takesome B1, B6, B12 capsules and calcium supplements.
Ok and take care.
