Tami, see if you can find a sports medicine doctor in your area. That's who I use for misc. injuries. I would think it could be something pinched or swollen in your back. I can't feel any of my right thigh and part of my groin and butt. I broke my L3 vertebrate in a car accident when I was 17, and suffered spinal cord damage. I've found that if I lift a lot and my lower back swells slightly, then my numbness gets worse and runs down my knee. Most of the time, it goes away in a few days. As long as you're not in pain, it's probably not an emergency, but it never hurts to check it out. Jennifer

Well my first piece of solid advice is get another doctor. No physician should ever make anyone feel stupid. That's his job and he should respect you as much as you repsect him. After all he is making money off of you. Now, with that having been said, I honestly don't know. Almost sounds like a pinched nerve somewhere. If you are having a lot of swelling, that could be the cause of it. But, I would definately go have it checked out. You have nerves that travel from your spine to your foot and back (long suckers huh?) that could get pinched or trapped anywhere along that route. Is your thigh swollen at all? Does it come and go or is it constant? Then there is always the worry of a clot. Do you have pain in your calf? Or your lower back? Does your foot go numb too? Is it cold to the touch? See tons of questions! I think your best bet, would be to have your doc (or a new one) check it out. Pain, or other signals like that are your body's way of saying something isn't quite right. So, please, for me call an MD ok? When we find out it isn't anything to get worried about we will have a big sigh of relief! Hugs, Val

Hey Val or anyone else that can maybe help me. I've been working at the airport and this is my third week. Last week I noticed that my left leg goes numb right above the left knee. The numb area is a large portion of my left front thigh. It lasts all day and I'm not sure what's going on. I don't know if it's something to worry about or if it's caused from my feet and the walking. I feel like such a dork asking this, but I'd rather feel like a dork here than with the Dr. He always makes me feel stupid. Would appreciate any advice. Tami~ 268/223/120

Oh man, don't tell my daughter that...she wants a mini coop so bad. She's 14, I told her to start saving now... Well, I want to get my plastic surgery so that I can look good on my future Harley...I am right there with ya John!

I love those!! Trying to talk Kristie into one, I drive a couple thousand miles a month and that would be a good way to get good gas mileage.
