What Causes The Freezing In The Lower Leg When Sitting For Long Periods Having Leg Imbalance?
Ten years ago, i broke my leg next to the ball joint. When they removed the screws part of one broke off. I use a lift in my left shoe to correct the balance. Normally, I'm fine, but sometimes I can't walk because my lower leg freezes up especially when sitting for long periods of time. what's up?

Are you a smoker. It can cause such sensation called parasthesia. I would also suggest you to get your serum B 12 estimation as lack of vitamin B12 causes tingling and numbness and burning in feet. I would also suggest you to get vitamin D estimation and serum calcium level. Till that time you finished with all those investigation i would recommend you to take Pregabalin M tablet.
