An IV goes into a vein and should not be related to numbness. In order for numbness to occur (temporary) one would have to have nerve damage. Perhaps if the IV infiltrated and the fluid went into the subq space and placed pressure on the nerve it might tingle until the fluid was absorbed. Probably not! Numbness is usually the result of pressure on the nerve or in the spine. Hope this helps, Angie Wooton, RN, MSN, FNP

You may have just sat or layed down on your leg wrong. There is not medical knowledge of a IV causing leg numbness. The only thing that comes to mind is the medication that they may have given you. But this is again not due to the IV.
