Impairments after a stroke may include problems with muscles and movement. These include: Weakness on one side of the body. This may cause you to have trouble walking, grasping objects, or doing other tasks. The side of the body that is affected is opposite from the side of the brain that was damaged by the stroke.
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.
