A member asked:

My foot was numb initially but now my whole leg is. the spreading of the numbness was gradual. neurologist .how long does a pinch nerve last its been 7 months since it started. is it perhaps cmt? my other leg is also numb but not to the same extent.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Leg numbness: Pinched nerves in both legs would be unusual. I'm concerned about spinal cord pathology, severe neuropathy or demyelinating disease like multiple sclerosis. Charcot- Marie- Tooth disease is a hereditary form of neuropathy which affects the long nerves first causing leg and foot weakness. Numbness can also occur. Your neurologist can advise you.best.
