Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have sudden loss of sensation in legs while treating leukemia and gall stones .
Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like abnormal levels of vitamin B12 or other vitamins, potassium, calcium, or sodium , poor blood supply to the affected area , herniated disk in your spine , pressure on your nerves diabetes or transient ischemic attack .
Side effects of certain drugs can also cause such symptoms , so also discuss about it with your doctor .I would suggest you to put your legs in hot water tun with epsom salt for 15 minutes daily , drink plenty if water , eat healthy and do light exercise .
If condition doesn't get well then consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination and treatment . Doctor may alsso refer you to neurologist for nerve problem.
