Hello,

If there is numbness in the lower back and in the thighs, it might be due to sciatic nerve compression. There are many reasons due to which there could be these symptoms that have occurred.

Take care of your body posture while sitting and sleeping. Ask your doctor about nerve healing drugs like Neurobion Forte which helps in the healing process of a nerve. It is a vitamin B12 preparation, good for the nerves.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Hussain
