Why Do My Legs Feel Numb/Tingly ?
See your health care provider as soon as possible (neurologist), for consultation. Nerve entrapment is a common cause of leg numbness. Nerves become compressed from either trauma, cysts, joint swelling or disease. If these condition are left untreated, nerves can become permanently damaged and patients could lose feeling in their legs. Other symptoms related to nerve entrapment include prickling, tingling sensation and leg pain. Peripheral neuropathy is a medical neurological disorder which damages the peripheral nervous system. Leg numbness can happen as a result of this nerve damage. The damage can be caused by sensory, motor or autonomic nerve diseases ( or diseases affecting the brain or spinal chord)Leg numbness can also accompany other symptoms such as muscle weakness, bone degeneration and painful cramps. Leriche's syndrome can also cause leg numbness. This medical condition causes a blockage in the heart's terminal aorta. As a result, blood can't flow to lower parts of the body and cuts off blood supply to the legs. Other symptoms affiliated with Leriche's syndrome include extreme fatigue and cold lower legs. Sitting with your legs crossed. Buerger's Disease. Your headaches is most likely a migraine from trauma during running exercises. See a doctor for a proper diagnosis and treatment. I hope this helps you. And good luck.
What causes tingly numb feet and legs?
Tingling, and numbness in the legs is either a result of poor circulation or a problem with the nerves. Burning is usually exclusive to problems with nerves... it's possible that you have peripheral neuropathy (a general term for poor nerve conduction). There are lots of things that can cause peripheral neuropathy including diabetes and back problems, such as pinched nerves and herniated disks. You should make a doctor's appointment and figure out what's causing this so it can be treated accordingly.
Why do my legs feel numb and tingly?
You may have fallen recently and jarred your spine and put pressure on the nerves going down your butt and legs. You could start an exercise program to strengthen your muscles and improve your circulation, but it would be wise to check in with a chiropractor first and make sure it is not your spine. And if an xray and a couple adjustments don't help, go see your doctor for issues in neurology and circulation problems. In the meantime, make sure you sit tall and there is no chance that you are cutting off blood flow to your legs. Me
Why do we get that tingly feeling after being numb (like your leg)?
Your entire body consists of a vast network of capillaries, veins and arteries with blood flowing through all of them. If any one of these is compressed (crossing legs, resting on the arm, etc.), it restricts the blood flow. When the compression is released (standing up, uncrossing legs, etc.) the blood begins to flow again. As the blood begins to flow, expansion takes place. This is the "tingly" feeling. When the blood as reached normal flow rate and the expansion is completed, the tingly feeling subsides.
My right arm has been numb and tingling for a week or two. Should I worry?
Poor posture with some physical tension while sitting during long trips or working a long time at the computer can sometimes be the culprit.An old whiplash-like, shoulder/ back injury and inflammation around the joint where the cervical vertebrae meets the thoracic can create this too.Eat a little something healthy, mind the slouching, and move around some more to see if YOU can make it go away.If it doesn't go away you can investigate the complaint with your doctor.
Why does my right leg go numb while sitting?
Depending on the seated position it could be a number of things. Due to the numbness only being elicited when sitting it is fairly easy to deduce that nerves are involved in some way likely due to some form of compression.The sciatic nerve runs posteriorly through the buttock and down the back of the thigh. Compression of this nerve through an awkward sitting position can lead to temporary numbness of the concerned leg.Numbness can also occur when compression of blood vessels concerned with supplying an area of innervation, thereby temporarily cutting off the blood supply and causing the associated numb feeling.When this compression is released and sensation is returned you can get a tingly feeling. This is more commonly known as pins and needles.Some other causes of numbness in the legs, but not necessarily associated with sitting down could be:StrokeMalnutritionDiabetiesSciaticaRaynauds diseaseCervical SpondylosisThese however are unlikely due to the association with sitting down.

Right leg numbness and tingling, neck pain?
Hello. Little info about myself. I am a healthy, active 24 year old woman who has no known health problems. I have however always suffered from headaches and migraines and feeling that my upper back and shoulders are always strained. Recently, I have noticed some numbness and slight tingling in my right leg. I do not completely loose feeling but I def have some decreased sensation. My whole leg feels it and it never really goes away, but seems to be getting worse. I got a massage two days ago, and although the numbness started before then, it has gotten worse since the massage. Every now and then. My finger tips in my right hand will tingle. I have always gotten headaches at the top of neck on the right side....and recently it's been hurting there. Anyone know what this may be? I have an appt with a neurologist on oct 11 th. Thanks !:)
What Dr to see: Numbness/Tingling in Foot/Leg and pain in Arm/Hand?
What kind of doctor should I see about the following symptoms? - Numbness and tingling sensation in my right leg and foot when I'm sitting. - Pain and weakness in my hands The pain in usually in my wrists, but sometimes extends to my fingers and forearm. I assumed it was the onset of carpal tunnel syndrome. I started using a wrist splint to help ease the pain. The numbness in my leg occurs when I am sitting down. I stand up to try and walk it off often, but when I sit it comes back. At first I thought these were unrelated, but then read about how back and spinal problems can cause such things. I work at a computer all day, so simply stopping what causes the pain isn't an option. So who should I see? A chiropractor? Neurologist? If I go to my regular doc, he'll most likely just send me somewhere else, and frankly I don't want to pay him so he can just send me to another doctor.
