Numb Thigh?

Question

Hi all,

Serious answers only please. I keey getting a numbness down my right thigh. it's not constant....it comes and goes.

Have any of you experienced this or know what it could be?

Answer 1

Are you diabetic? or is there a chance that you might be, are you overweight? The reason I asked if you are overweight is because people who are overweight can suffer from high blood pressure which can lead to type 2 diabetes.

If you are diabetic, are your blood sugars controlled? because if your blood sugars get out of control and remain high, over a period of time you can suffer complications and one being diabetic neuropathy ( nerve damage ) . You could suffer from numbness and tingling with no feeling to that part affected, or you could have pain or both of them like me.

Usually, neuropathy mainly affects the feet toes and legs on lower limbs. On top limbs, it is from elbow down to fingers. Other areas of the body can suffer from neuropathy, and as you say, it also comes and goes.

If it is neuropathy and you are looking for a suitable tablet to take, then what helps me is CoCodamol 30/500, you can have 8/500 but chances are the lower does of Codine which is the 8 of the /500 will not be strong enough, the 500 is 500mg Paracetamol. I found out by mistake that CoCodamol 30/500 helps my pain. Neuropathy is a nerve pain and CoCodamol is technically not the correct drug to take.

Consult with your GP first, before taking the medication, don't forget that the lower dose of Codine may not help you.
You don't have to be diabetic to suffer neuropathy.

I hope I have helped you.

Answer 2

You are getting pressure on the femoral nerve from somewhere in your inguinal area.. as related by another poster, this can occur during pregnancy or, even a prolapse of the uterus. Is not always in the back.. should be checked to determine if you have an impending problem in the lower abdomen.

Answer 4

Ask your doctor about an exercise routine. Regular exercise, such as walking three times a week, may reduce neuropathy pain, improve your muscle strength and help control blood sugar levels. Gentle routines such as yoga and tai chi might also help.

Answer 5

Obviously a nerve problem. Probably a pinched nerve somewhere. Hopefully it will go away--if not, get in to a neurologist.

Answer 6

Yup...I have the same thing. Started when I was pregnant w/ my son about 6 1/2 years ago. Doc told me it was sciatica (sp?).

Answer 7

I get that, too. Mine goes away after seeing a chiropractor when he adjusts something in my back.

Answer 9

Could be a pinched nerve.

Answer 10
