Anyone experience numbness?

It just started today, when I was standing in line to vote my left leg went numb between my hip and my knee. It's happened three times today. I'm sort of worried something might be getting pinched. Has anyone else experienced this after surgery?

Thanks

Jenn

My area right above my knee has been numb for about 4 months. I prolly should ask about it. HUH? shanna

First, be sure you are getting enough liquids. Dehydration can do the weirdest stuff.
Second, as you lose weight your center of gravity shifts and pinched nerves are not uncommon. Pay particular attention to your posture.

I don't get numbness but my hips hurt a lot all of a sudden. I'm not sure what's up with that. I plan to ask about it tomorrow.

Hope we all get answers to our quirkiness!
