What Causes Stiffness & Numbness In Leg& Medial Shin?

Hi,
This could be a sign of pressure on the nerves in the spinal canal- causing numbness, light feeling and radiation to right Medial foot.
If it persists then start a combination of pregabalin and methylcobalamin and Get MRI of the lower back.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Gopal Goel, Orthopaedic Surgeon
