A member asked:
My entire right leg is numb(feels asleep) and has for 2 days. my toe is possibly broken of fractured. is this normal? is something wrong?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neurological: Yes it is abnormal to have a numb leg for 2 days provided its continuous. If you are simply sitting and the leg goes numb then resolves only to happen again when siting that's not bad but if its all the time you need to see a doctor likely have a ct or MRI of the lumbar spine to check for disc disease or cord compression. It seems as if a nerve root is pinched do not wait long.
