Suggest Remedy For Numbness In Leg

Ok. My 13 years old granddaughter just told me her leg is going numb. She was in cross country at school a while back. The numbness is getting worse. I advised her to message it to try to better circulation. Need to get her to the Dr. What do you think ?

hello
please attend general practitioners office if massage is not abating numbness.It may not be Circulatory problem but rather may be neurogenic in origin.a clear history and systematic examination of legs, joints and back has to be done to know the cause.Do some hot fomentation also and reassure the child she would be alright.
thanks
