Should A Doctor Be Consulted For Numbness And Weakness In The Legs?
I am experiencing lower leg, right and left numbness. My legs feel very weak when walking. I have had treatment for venous insufficiency, ablation. prior to these symptoms have had pain when walking or standing in both legs. Is it time to see a doctor about this?
The numbness can be due to many causes like nerve weakness and neurological reason. Better to consult a neurologist and get evaluated, you have to go for nerve conduction study for further evaluation. Wishing you good health.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
