Numbness of the legs from cycling may be caused by peripheral neuritis, lumbar spondylosis compression of nerves and nerve entrapment.
1. Peripheral neuritis: Peripheral neuritis is a neurological disorder, i.e., a disorder of movement sensation and nerve function at the distal end of the limb, which will be aggravated after excessive exercise. If the cycling exercise is carried out for a long time, it will aggravate the disease and lead to leg numbness.
2. Lumbar spondylosis compression nerve: due to the change of body position during cycling, the original lumbar spondylosis will be aggravated, such as lumbar spine herniated disc, vertebral body slippage, etc., which will lead to the nerve root being compressed, and then there will be numbness of the legs during cycling.
3. Nerve compression: when cycling for too long, due to local muscle ligament strain, can cause pain and swelling, resulting in local neurovascular compression, which makes the local blood supply is insufficient and cause cycling leg numbness phenomenon.
It is recommended that patients go to the hospital for examination to identify the causes of targeted treatment, not cold and tired, so as not to aggravate the condition.
