What Causes Numbness And Tingling Sensation In The Leg?

The past week at work I have been doing a lot more vigorous heavy lifting and pushing. Since then I have had pain in my left leg all the way up to the thigh. Now the pain has gone away and it is just numb and tingles when you touch it. Any ideas what could cause this and how to make it stop

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi & Welcome.
I can understand your problem.

After having gone through the symptoms of numbness and tingling sensation in your left leg following recent vigorous activity, I am of the opinion that you have some sort of inflammation or injury to the nerves of the thigh and left leg.

I would suggest you to take Gabapentin tablet along with Mecobalin for the relief of numbness and tingling sensation.

If the symptoms are not relieved, kindly consult a physician for further assessment.

Regards.
