My right upper leg (from my knee to... where my leg connects to my body) is numb, and has been for like a month. I've been in and out of the hospital for the past month too, but I keep forgetting to mention it because every time I go to the hospital it "goes away". The feeling is like the feeling of a limb "falling asleep", except it never wakes up. I was even able to put a cigarette out on it.

I know I should mention it to a doctor, and I will, but in the meantime are there any guesses as to what the heck is causing this?

You need a neurologist of some sort to give you a diagnosis I rekkon.

ask in TGD.


I vaguely recall something about n2 buildup in the blood causing those prickly sleepy feelings, and if you're off and stopping your heart that might be messing with your bloodflow but what do I know ¯\(º_o)/¯

You are slowly turning into a zombie starting with your leg? No idea, but if you put a cigarette out on it,(ow.....) it's probaly serious and stuff.

You may have a pinched nerve. Just a guess.

Although, any numbness in the body indicates some sort of nerve damage or poor blood flow. You really should see a doctor ASAP!

Sorry Doc, no idea what's up with that.

I'll join the group of people suggesting you tell a doctor about this.

My expert opinion suggests you consult a doctor as well, because I have no idea.

The cigarette deal brings to mind I Never Promised You a Rose Garden. But it doesn't sound like you belong in a mental ward (more than the rest of us). I pray you get well soon.

you should see a doctor. there is no telling what the problem could be. For all we know they could be little nanobots trying to take over your legs thought the blood stream. Thou you are probably more likely to get hit by an asteroid 3 times and still be alive.

Maybe you've been having a stroke for the past month?

How long a day do you sit down dude, cause I had a similar thing when I used to sort of "slouch" in my office chair for hours.

I took some Ibuprofen (anti-inflamitories) and it got better.

Doctor....NOWS!!!

Holy crap that was a DISTURBING book. We read a lot of cool (but disturbing) books back in Psychology class in high school... I Never Promised You a Rose Garden, Sybil, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, Flowers for Algernon, The Bell Jar...

Anyway, thanks to all for your thoughts, prayers, concerns, advice, etc. And sorry I keep disappearing. Turns out it was a pinched nerve. I had been wearing a very bad type of belt which was cutting off the, um, long nerve in the leg... what the hell is it called... anyway, now I'm wearing a more normal belt and I am fine.

I CALLED IT!!!!!


Seriously though, it's good to hear you are all better.

Glad you found out what the problem was
