Hello. Thanks for writing to us. The numbness in the legs is more likely to be caused by a lesion in the lumbar spine. Regular physiotherapy and methylcobalamin supplements can decrease the numbness. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. Regards, Dr. Praveen Tayal , drtayal72@gmail.com
