Hi,

I am Dr.Bruno. I have read your question and understand your concerns. Let me try to help you

Question : What causes numbness and tingling on inner leg?
Answer : The Nerve Roots supplying those areas are either compressed or are regenerating. If it is the latter cause, you would be relieved of the symptoms in 6 weeks

Question 2 : Should I be worried
Answer 2 : I suggest you wait for 6 weeks, In most cases, you will see improvement. You have to be worried only if there is no improvement

Hope you found the answer helpful.
