If you dip your fingers in ice cold water for some time, you will find that they can no longer feel or carry a sensation. This is numbness; that is, not feeling any sensation.
But, what you are having in both your legs, is NOT numbness. Rather, it is caused due to irritation of the nerves. It may arise from neuropathy due to vitamin deficiency (particularly B12), diabetes, or it may also arise from pressure on nerve roots (spondylosis, spondylolisthesis, sciatica etc.). If you are a smoker, Buerger's disease may also be a probability. So, please check it out with your doc.

(please take the joke) Now this here could simply be applied to but not limited to differant body parts. It could be applicaple to the "brain" the organ that's supposed to be responsible for "thinking" you can usually tell when this happens "especially" when you ask a particular question to an individual who is "not on drugs" and they do not respond in an appropriate manner befitting the individual. This usually occurs when a "remote' is occupying their hands, and eyes are affixed on a "sports like" type of entertainment. Many other times this same occurance is demonstrated by adolesence when engaged in conversation with no one in the room except an electronic device without a cord and a question is put forth. When they look at you, their mouth drops open, nothing comes out, this is to indicate "it has occured!" Many such things have gone "un-noticed" by many; this is because it is an "in_tremity" problem unlike the extremity problems we face every day and deal with. ....lol...True "numbness" is usually caused by "lack of circulation in a given area, or pinched nerves of the virtebre of the spine,or nerve system problems(nuro-net),and you should consult a physician STAT! It's nothing to mess with!!!!

This is called Neuropathy or peripheral nerve damage.
Symptoms are related to the type of affected nerve and may be seen over a period of days, weeks, or years. Muscle weakness is the most common symptom of motor nerve damage. Other symptoms may include painful cramps and fasciculations (uncontrolled muscle twitching visible under the skin), muscle loss, bone degeneration, and changes in the skin, hair, and nails. These more general degenerative changes also can result from sensory or autonomic nerve fiber loss.
Peripheral neuropathy may be either inherited or acquired. Causes of acquired peripheral neuropathy include physical injury (trauma) to a nerve, tumors, toxins, autoimmune responses, nutritional deficiencies, alcoholism, and vascular and metabolic disorders. Acquired peripheral neuropathies are grouped into three broad categories: those caused by systemic disease, those caused by trauma from external agents, and those caused by infections or autoimmune disorders affecting nerve tissue.
In general, adopting healthy habits-such as maintaining optimal weight, avoiding exposure to toxins, following a physician-supervised exercise program, eating a balanced diet, correcting vitamin deficiencies, and limiting or avoiding alcohol consumption-can reduce the physical and emotional effects of peripheral neuropathy. Active and passive forms of exercise can reduce cramps, improve muscle strength, and prevent muscle wasting in paralyzed limbs. Various dietary strategies can improve gastrointestinal symptoms. Timely treatment of injury can help prevent permanent damage. Quitting smoking is particularly important because smoking constricts the blood vessels that supply nutrients to the peripheral nerves and can worsen neuropathic symptoms. Self-care skills such as meticulous foot care and careful wound treatment in people with diabetes and others who have an impaired ability to feel pain can alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life. Such changes often create conditions that encourage nerve regeneration.
