Why Experiencing Numbness In Leg After Prolonged Standing After Knee Replacement?
I had a knee replacement almost two years ago and everything is fine with the knee, but now when I stand for prolonged time periods, my whole leg gets numb and then my knees give out. What could this be? I am a diabetic as well. YYYY@YYYY

This is either diabetic neuropathy or sciatica from back injury ( disc or spondylitis ) i recommend you do a lumber MRI
