Why There Is Numbness In My Right Leg?
I have noticed numbness in my right leg, in the past couple of days, whilst at work, standing on concrete. I work in a gardenshop & at the time I was standing in the one spot, it was only when I went to walk I noticed the numbness, no tingling. This is the first time & I have worked in the gardenshop for 5 years. I am 49 years old & have just stopped cabergoline (dostinex) on the 12 Sept., for a pituatury adenomea, which I had been on for 13 years. Not taking any other medication & no I'm not a big milk drinker

Hi,
Numbness may be due to multiple causes. Since you are otherwise normal, the cause may be due to neuropathy. You can confirm it with clinical examination and nerve conduction test, SW test and vibratory sensation.
Vitamin supplements with Vit B6, B12 along with regular exercises will help in reducing symptoms and further damage.
Hope this helps you.
