What Can Be Done To Get Rid Of Numbness In Legs?
A button came out of my chair and it was turned sideways under my leg. My leg has been numb and painful for about 3 weeks. It seem to get better when I wear flat shoes, but has never turned completely back to normal. No bruises or cuts from the button. What can I do to get rid of the numbness?

Hello,
welcome to Healthcare Magic.
Your problem is precipitated by pressure by a button. In that case there is need to rule out damage to local nerve due to pressure.
You may need investigation like nerve conduction study to assess function of nerve supply of numb area. For that it is better to get yourself evaluated by neurologist.
