leg numbness

Pins and needles

Leg numbness is a loss of sensation in one or both legs, ranging from tingling to complete absence of feeling.

It can result from sitting in one position too long, nerve compression, or conditions like sciatica or diabetes.

I woke up with leg numbness from sleeping on my side.

Temporary numbness usually resolves with movement; persistent numbness warrants medical attention.
