numb thigh

[CiderMonkey]

recently the front side of my right thigh has started to feel a little bit numb every now and then. It mainly happens when I am laying down or sitting at the computer.

Does anyone know what this could be? Could it just be bad circulation? Most of the time my feet are very cold.

circulation. you may need to have an operation on your arteries if they start going bnlue

Hope this helps

I hope I won`t alarm you as I have Diebeties Type 2 and have the same problem as you. It is poor blood circulation as mentioned by gravytate but due to me being on warfarin the doctors don`t think it serious enough to operate. I just give my legs a good rub to get the blood going again.

Oh god, thank goodness someone else has this too !
I have the same problem with my left upper leg. If I am sitting or laying in the same position for more than 5 minutes it goes completely numb. Scared now as I have high cholesterol (although it has been lowered with statins) I was tested for diabetes last year and was given the all clear. Perhaps I should have another blood test :-(

It could also be a trapped or pinched nerve from the lower spine. Sciatica can cause pain, tingling or numbness in the thigh. Best to see a doctor though to get it checked out.

I had an area just above my knee which was as if it had been anaesthetised. I went to the doctor who said it could have been due to nerve damage which would slowly right itself, and she has been right. It must have been about a year or so before this feeling went away.
