Why do my legs hurt and my feet feel numb after taking linezolid?

Linezolid (Linezolid) may cause some nervous system-related side effects, such as peripheral neuropathy. When patients experience leg pain and numbness in their feet after taking linezolid, it may be that the drug affects the function of nerve conduction, resulting in impaired nerve signal transmission. These symptoms typically manifest as pain, tingling, numbness, or paresthesia and may affect the lower limbs and feet. Doctors will regularly monitor the patient's nervous system function during treatment to detect and deal with these nervous system-related side effects in a timely manner. If these symptoms occur, patients should inform their doctor in time so that the doctor can adjust the treatment plan or provide appropriate symptomatic support treatment to relieve discomfort and ensure the safety and effectiveness of the treatment.
