What would cause legs to be cold and numb?

Answer 1

Many things can cause this from setting or sleeping wrong, to low back problems. Pinching of the Sciatic Nerve is another common cause of numbness. Then there's the possibility of blocked arteries.

I suggest you seek the advice of a medical professional as soon as possible.

Answer 2

numbness can be caused by a variety of things including Diabetes and also herniated disc in the spine, the best thing to do is to consult with your doctor.

..............Leg pain can range from a mild nuisance that comes and goes, to debilitating pain that makes it difficult to sleep, to walk or engage in simple everyday activities. The pain can take many different forms -- some patients describe the pain as aching, searing, throbbing, or burning, and it can be accompanied by other symptoms, such as a pins-and-needles sensation, and/or leg or foot numbness or weakness.

Leg pain may be caused by a problem in the leg, but often it starts with a problem in the lower back, where the sciatic nerve originates, and then travels along the path of the nerve. For this reason, diagnosis of anyone with leg pain, foot pain, and/or leg or ankle or foot weakness or numbness, should include an examination of the lower back.

Its probably low blood circulation, where your leg is completely/mildly cut out of blood. If you sit down to much, it could occur, and sometimes when you stand up, you might get pins and needles.

It could also be low blood pressure (hypotension) where your blood is not being moved around your body as strongly as its suppose to.

But I think its just low blood circulation.
