The decision depends on the cause of the numbness in the legs and also needs to be done under the supervision of a medical professional.
If it is due to a herniated lumbar disc compressing the nerve roots, mannitol or sodium hesperidin can be used to dehydrate the nerve roots and relieve the compression; non-steroidal anti-inflammatory analgesics such as celecoxib capsules can also be used to provide anti-inflammatory analgesia and relieve the manifestations of nerve dysfunction.
If it is due to spinal cord injury, methylcobalamin can effectively enhance the synthesis of nucleic acids and proteins within the nerve cells; facilitating the repair of damaged nerve fibres.
If peripheral neuropathy is caused by diabetes, glucose-lowering medication can be taken to keep blood sugar within normal limits, thus relieving the symptoms of leg numbness.
