What Causes Numbness In Legs Below Knees And Swelling In Ankles?
hi. I have a numbness in both legs below the knees, have had both knees replaced, the numbness more severe in the left leg below the knee, there is a pin in that leg below the knee which was inserted to straighten the leg a year or two before knee replacement, some swelling occurs around both ankles, but more so in the left ankle, will exercise such as walking help in this case. thank you

For numbness below knee and swelling in ankles you can take some pain killer like biozobid-plus or osteonac-th only when the pain is worse enough to get disturb your daily work. Take some calcium supplements like shalcal or toscal-gem once daily along with some multivitamins. Do regular physiotherapy exercises as per the expert advice of the physiotherapist.
