What Causes Sharp Pain On The Legs With Numbness?
Hi a few weeks ago I was lying in bed with my legs crossed, then I dropped my legs to the bed suddenly. I felt a sharp pain like a needle had punctured my left leg. It was very painful. Since then my leg does not feel the same. However , now it feels tingly and almost numb. What s happening?

need to check the lower spine once. like an MRI or a CT will help provide some inputs. try to strengthen your core and gluteal region for outcomes. you can surely visit a specialist for assessment or can talk directly to me through this forum
