What Could Cause Stiffness And Numbness In The Lower Legs And Ankles?
Have stiffness & numbness in lower legs, ankle areas. I use a walker because I have some balance issues & don t want to fall... taking B12 supplements & diagnosis of spinal stenosis several years ago, but I could drive & walk ok. Seems worse, could it be anything else ???

Hello,
It could be an early sign of arthritis. As a first line management, you can take analgesics like Paracetamol or Aceclofenac for pain relief.
If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
