What Does Numbness In The Legs Indicate?
I ve had bad back disc for 35 years... my heart is ok.. . recently my left leg goes numb in a very short time of standing on it. I can t put any weight on it.. and the numbness finally goes away in less than an hour.. there s NO pain associated with it.. just numbness.. feels like dead weight. There s other issues with my heath but they aren t connected to this.. Tim D Ingrum ... Thank You

Hi
If no pain, numbness may be either neurogenic or vascular.A color Doppler of leg will rule out vascular impairment as a cause.An electrophysiological test if nerves of leg can diagnose any conduction defici in nerve.
Take methycobslamin 1500 I.u daily,vacuum and vitamin D supplements.A multivitamin with minerals like zinc and magnesium,manganese, vitamin B1,BY shall prove very useful.conshlt neurologist or vascular specialist
