Its a nerve....lay on your back...put a towel around your leg just above the knee joint...hold both sides of the towel and pull your leg towards your torso for 10 minutes everyday...it will go away....

you have a pinched nerve. Usually your symptoms are associated with Sciatic nerve being pinched between two muscles in your buttocks. Use ice on it to reduce the swelling so it will release. Buy one of the big exercise balls and the booklet that tells you how to use it and get busy. Now, you know all you would hear from six appointments with the Dr and many trips to therapy. You just saved $6000.00 on YA! Good Luck and God Bless

get a second opinion just in case. it probably is a pinched nerve. my right leg is constantly numb at the top because of a damaged nerve in my back. what troubles me is i had blood clots go to my lungs and nearly kill me a few years ago after an knee operation. which just before that happened i noticed my whole leg went numb. but sounds like you have had it for quite a while so it wouldnt be that, i just like to warn people to watch out for leg pain and numbness, because deep vain thrombosis is such a silent deadly killer.

If you haven't had a MRI done, then you should have one to evaluate your spine. You could have a disk problem that needs to be addressed and the the MRI can detect these problems. Good luck and hope I've been of some help.

I think your doctor is right, it sounds like a pinched nerve to me as well....
If you aren't sure about your doctors diagnosis, I would suggest seeing another doctor, and perharps doing a scan of the areas.
