What causes leg numbness?

I believe everyone has experienced leg numbness. Generally, when the legs are numb, the problem can be solved by standing up and moving around. However, if you often experience leg numbness, you need to pay attention. Because continuous leg numbness is likely to be malignant, you need to take reasonable treatment methods, otherwise it will cause harm to your body. What is the cause of leg numbness? How to deal with it?

The cause of benign leg numbness is very simple. It is caused by keeping the legs in the same posture for a long time, which leads to poor blood circulation. Generally, the solution to this situation is also very simple, which is to move around. If you want to understand leg numbness in detail, let’s first look at its causes.

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.

What to do if your legs are numb?

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.

I believe you already know what causes leg numbness. I also need to remind you that some bone diseases can easily cause leg numbness, such as bone hyperplasia and lumbar disc herniation. If the leg numbness is caused by these diseases, please be sure to take it seriously and go to the hospital for treatment and conditioning in time.
