Numbness in the left leg should be treated with medications, massage, and other methods. Prolonged sitting can impair blood circulation in the legs, leading to numbness. Massage and physical activity can help improve blood flow in the legs. Additionally, if the patient has diabetes with peripheral nerve damage, it may cause stocking-like numbness in the lower limbs, which requires treatment with neurotrophic drugs.
