Numbness: Numbness in both legs could be related to a neck, mid back (spinal cord) or lower back (spinal nerves) or just peripheral leg nerves) problem. Possibilities are numerous. A physician may obtain adequate history and physical examination and perform adequate testing to further assist in the diagnosis. Among the possibilities to consider are: vitamin B12 deficiency, diabetes, and multiple sclerosis.
