If you havenât heard the term âTactical Penâ yet, you just have. While Tactical Pens have been hitting the mainstream tactical market for a few years now, today Iâd like to address some of the myths behind them. Not only why they can get you into trouble, but why an overpriced writing utensil simply isnât necessary.
1. Sciatica is a Cause of a Numb Leg. Sciatica is a condition caused by irritation of the sciatic nerve and you'll feel the effects as numbness in one leg or foot, a shooting pain down the back of one thigh or in your buttock, and pain in the leg when you sit, stand, strain, cough and sneeze.
Don't panic if you have a numb leg without any other symptoms, particularly if it goes away over time, as it is very unlikely to be caused by a tumor. However, it is possible that numb legs can be caused by a spinal tumor or a brain tumor. (Read about other unusual signs of a brain tumor.) A spinal tumor is a growth that develops in or near to your spinal cord and a brain tumor takes root in your brain - both can cause loss of sensation and numbness in the leg or legs. Other symptoms that accompany numb legs and may indicate a spinal tumor include back pain, decreased sensitivity to hot and cold, loss of bladder function, paralysis and spinal deformity.
