A member asked:

Hello dr conti, for the last week i have had numbness down both the front of my legs, from the knees down... what do you think this may be a result of?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Numbness: This is consistent with a peripheral sensory neuropathy or acute neuritis since there apparently is no associated leg weakness. A neurologist is best qualified to evaluate you and the appropriate testing will be ordered.
