10 Aortic Aneurysm Symptoms
Symptom #4: Leg Numbness
Numbness in the legs and feet can simply occur when an individual has been sitting in the same position for a prolonged duration causing increased pressure on the nerves or due to reduction of blood flow.
Long-term numbness in the legs and feet can occur in conditions such as diabetes, multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, peripheral artery disease, and more. In an aortic aneurysm, leg numbness can occur when it enlarges enough to compress the nerve roots, leading to pain and numbness.
