What Causes Stiffness & Numbness In Leg& Medial Shin?

Right lower leg feeling tight with some puffiness and slight numbness, medial shin now radiating to right medial foot, it feels heavy with some weakness whilst walking, superficially a bit numb. This has come on quite suddenly within the last 10 minutes for no apparent reason.

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
