My thigh went numb suddenly over aq week ago and has not gone away. Should I see a doctor?

Hi, Beth27!

Yes, you should go to see a doctor. If it has gone on for more than a few days, then it would be time to see a doctor.

However, is there something that you're doing that might be causing it to happen, like sitting in a chair a certain way, or perhaps something else?

Thanks!

You should definitely see a doctor. Numbness in a limb is usually caused either by a change in your circulation (for example a blood clot) or damage or inflammation of a nerve. Either of these is serious. You should be seen right away.

I Got up this morning and my upper thigh on the front of my leg has been numb since. It also feels freezing cold and wet and the rest of me is completely normal. Should I call the doc?
