Legs numb

[amyb254]

I was noticing that my legs have started going numb recently when I was sitting.  Yesterday it was taking awhile for the feeling to come back, and then when it did, I could not walk for a few minutes because of tingling in my legs.  I was wondering wondering what this could be a syptom of?

Hi, Thank you for your question. It seems that your hand tingling & numbness symptoms could be due to injury to a nerve, pressure on spinal or peripheral nerves (neuropathy), vitamin deficiency, lack of blood supply due to cholesterol plaque from atherosclerosis in the extremities, viral infection and use of certain medications.  In addition, atherosclerosis can also cause pain, numbness, and tingling while walking and they can also reduce blood supply and lead to numbness. Please consult your doctor to get all these possibilities evaluation in your case for further assessment. Hope this helps.
