Does Viral Infection Cause Numbing Of Leg?

i have had virus symptoms like body aches, sore throat, head and chest congestion, and general fatigue for a few weeks. Very out of character for me. Now suddenly my right leg and foot are feeling numb. No back problems/injuries at the moment. Just very sudden. Never had this issue. Barely ever sick. Any likelihood that my virus or whatever is related to this numbing?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the viral infection indeed then you need to be patience for some day and symptoms can managed with symptomatic medicine, some time it may be allergic condition too then anti-histamine can be taken along with Tab Acetaminophen (Tab Acetaminophen + Levocetirizine ) three times in day, numbness may be nonspecific, hope this information helps.
