Causes of leg numbness

First: Benign lower limb numbness: It will disappear on its own with changes in the patient's mood, diet, weather, and exercise conditions. It will not last for a long time and usually disappears in 2-3 days.

Second: Malignant lower limb numbness: The main characteristics of malignant lower limb numbness are persistence and progressiveness. The main symptom is numbness of the lower limbs, which will persist and will not disappear on its own; and as time goes by, the degree of numbness will become more and more severe.

Leg numbness should not be taken lightly. If you have leg numbness symptoms, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for examination and diagnosis. Be careful that small problems may lead to big mistakes.

Numbness in the legs and feet is mostly caused by sitting, standing or squatting for a long time due to poor posture. The blood circulation in the legs is poor and the peripheral nerves are compressed, which affects the normal conduction of the nerves. The stimulation cannot be transmitted to the brain accurately and in time to remind us to change posture, so the legs and feet will become numb after circumcision. In addition, maintaining the same posture for a long time can also compress the tibial nerve or peroneal nerve, causing nerve paralysis symptoms and numbness in the legs and feet.

Change your posture immediately and walk quickly in a small range for a few minutes. If you feel numbness in your left leg, raise your right hand for 10 seconds, then put it down, and repeat 3 times. If your right leg is numb, raise your left hand and the numbness can be relieved. Change your walking posture, such as walking with your eight legs turned inside out, so that different muscles are evenly stressed and the numbness is relieved. Rubbing and applying hot compress to the numb area can also eliminate numbness.

At ordinary times, whether you are standing or sitting, you should maintain the correct posture. Do not maintain the same posture for too long. It is best to change it every few minutes. Do more leg exercises such as jogging and swimming. In addition, diseases such as bone hyperplasia, lumbar disc herniation, and lumbar muscle strain can also affect the peripheral nerves and cause numbness in the legs and feet. If you often feel numbness in your legs and feet, it is recommended to seek medical attention in time.
