What Is The Cause For Numbness In My Right Calf?

For about a week now, each time I sit down for more than 10 minutes, my right calf becomes numb, but it doesn't hurt. It takes a while for me to be able to regain feeling in it again though. The same thing happens occasionally with my right pinky. Please help!

These symptoms may be suggestive of a nerve problem or vitamin b 12 deficiency. Since how long you are having these symptoms and are you on any medication or alcohol.i would recommend you to get your b 12 estimation. For the time being start taking methy lcobalamine tablet. You can show to a neurologist before.
