Hello Anon

Thank you for writing.

To know how to treat the numbness in your thigh, you need to know what is causing it. You may have something called peripheral neuropathy - heripheral neuropathy is damage to the peripheral nerves. These are the nerves that connect your spinal cord to the rest of your body.

Damage to the peripheral nerves often results in sensory (feeling) and motor (strength) symptoms in the:

Arms
Legs
Hands
Feet

Other parts of the body can also be affected. Symptoms depend on which nerves are involved. They can range from mild to severe and may seem worse at night. Sensations and pain may occur in the upper or lower limbs and move toward the trunk (eg, from the feet to the calves).

Sensations include pain, a burning pain, numbness, tingling or pins and needles.

You will need to seek medical advice to know what it causing your numbness (we can only offer a guide, not a diagnosis) and start treatment

Best,
Susan
