Restless legs ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code
In healthcare, diagnosis codes are used as a tool to group and identify diseases, disorders, symptoms, poisonings, adverse effects of drugs & chemicals, injuries and other reasons for patient encounters. Diagnostic coding is the translation of written descriptions of diseases, illnesses and injuries into codes from a particular classification.
What is the treatment for leg numbness? Using essential oils alone or in combination with massage therapy can release tension, both physical and emotional, that can attribute to numbness in legs. Rosemary oil, lavender oil, primrose oil, and olive oil can be used as a 20- to 30-minute treatment to alleviate numbness.
Numbness of the right leg, however, like the left one, can be accompanied by cramps and pain, especially at night. If numbness is caused by severe fear, shock or stress, it can be accompanied by frequent shortness of breath, as well as cramps in the calf muscles.
Tumors and cysts. The presence of growths and masses in the lower back, pelvis, or leg may compress blood vessels and/or nerves and lead to leg pain and numbness. Leg pain may also develop due to strain, exercise, dehydration, aging, poor posture, hereditary factors, and/or occupation-related causes.

What to know about paresthesia. Paresthesia is numbness or a burning feeling that occurs most often in the extremities, such as the hands, arms, legs, or feet, but that can happen elsewhere in the body as well. It is the same “pins and needles” feeling that happens when someone sits on their leg or foot for too long.
