Does MS make calf muscles numb ?

[FindingAnswersMaccy]

Have you experienced numbness around calf muscles portion of legs ?

Yes, I have numbness from the ribs down, some areas have deeper numbness then others. Numbness can occur anywhere.

i have a spot of numbness on my thigh. my mum's dog has a licking fixation and it's the oddest thing. i can see him licking it, but i can't feel it. due to spasticity, my calves feel like bricks.

Yes, Numb areas can appear on my thighs, calves, feet, hands and upper arms. They come without warning, last a few hours, then fade.

Yes, I have had numbness in my calves, feet hands, arms and face. Sometimes just temporary, or after a more serious relapse back before we had DMTs, I have had numbness in hands and arms that require occupational therapy (OT) or on my legs I would wear leggins, or tights to go give feedback back to my brain that I have limbs. My first relapse was numbness, my entire left side. If persists see doctor. One time they checked to make sure no blood clots. But I was find and with much prayer and PT/OT I have been blessed to regain sensation despite the scenarios. Take good care and get plenty of rest. Ever truly my concerned call PCP/GP or neurologist. Now it is it more of a temporary/infrequent symptom for me. Not like in my past (80s/90s) where cause serious problems. Be careful.

🙋🏻‍♀️Yep, mine comes and goes

[NorasMom]

Ditto to everyone else. Mine comes and goes, and it's usually just small patches on the arms and legs, anywhere from silver-dollar sized to 6" across. I've had them last for a few weeks, but most disappear (or move!) within an hour.

Hi there yes I do - right lower calf numb, ankle and sole of foot. Left leg upper calf and up to the knee. It’s just great….

[mrsmike9]

I only have numb toes, but from what I've read, you can lose feeling anywhere!

[JTZES]

As soon as I lay down my legs go to pins and needles then into hot cold numbness.On rare occasions my calf's go into severe cramps and then back into numbness.

As others have mentioned you can have numbness anywhere. It's just part of the disease.

Yes! and ankles and heels and feet. My left foot is so numb i am unable to feel the floor under my foot and I catch myself "high stepping" because I am afraid I will trip and fall
