A member asked:
Can severe spinal arthritis also cause constant leg numbness?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes.: Nerve root impingement is the major cause. Piriformis syndrome can do this as well. If this continues, see a rheumatologist or orthopedist. I would get emgs done by a neurologist or physical medicine specialist, if you truly have radicular pain.
