Question 1

what is causing numbness and pain in my right hip. gets worse when i try to sleep on my right side. very sensitive to the lightest touch?

Accepted Answer

Varies: There are a few potential causes and I would not hesitate to be seen for it.  The two most common causes are an irritation of a nerve in the back which can cause pain or numbness into the hip and leg.  The other very common cause is a bursitis/tendinitis of the hip which can usually be eliminated by a cortisone shot.  An exam can distinguish between the two.

Question 2

i have a numbness in my right hip lately at night before i go to sleep. sleeping on my back or left hip makes it worse. please help. ?

Accepted Answer

Numbness right hip: Numbness in right hip may be due to entrapment of the nerve as it passes between the upper front hip and the upper point of the hip bone which may occur as weight gain makes tight undergarments, belting or the waistband of your pants. Numbness may also occur due to pinching of nerve arising from the lower back. Please consult your physician if the numbness persists despite weight loss management.

Question 3

pain behind right knee? sometime in butt down to calf? numbness in back of ankle. no back pain! hips hurt when sleep on 1 side to long.

Accepted Answer

Lumbar disk disease: This is the approximate distribution of a sciatica type syndrome. If you have a computer go to google and type in dermatome map. If you look at the dermatome MAP you can see the distribution of where the nerves come from the supply the specific areas mentioned.
If this is that symptomatic you probably need to go in and see your doctor and get a MRI of the lumbar spine for further evaluation.

Question 4

am i not explaining it right? feels like when your foot falls asleep, in my l side joints! mainly l hip/shoulder. numbness gettin worse, what is this?

Accepted Answer

Numbness: In the absence of better explanation, numbness in one side of your body could alert your physicians of a problem in the spinal cord or brain at the sensory relay areas (thalamus)  or parietal white matter or cortex. This could be due to  a demyelinating disorder. Conversely,  a concomitant neck and lower back condition can very well explain your symptoms. Check with your md. Hope u get well soon.

Accepted Answer

A1C: get this blood test A1C to chk for diabetes, sciatica will extend from the lower buttocks usually and can cause lower extremity numbness and itchy pain

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Neurologist: Numbness is a feeling when nerves are involved.  The specialists in this area of medicine are neurologists.
When the problem is annoying enough to you make an appointment with one and let them help you.
If you are serious about getting better you must help yourself by calling and making an appointment.

Question 7

my hip will go numb/tingly when i lay on my side to sleep.its been happening on and off for about a year but now it's every time. i'm only 18 btw?

Accepted Answer

Transient nerve: compression. Everybody's anatomy is slightly different and your nerves supplying the skin around your hip may run closer to the surface; also more likely compression if you are slender with little subcutaneous fat for cushion. Likely the nerves are compressed, recover, but too soon recompressed accounting for increased frequency.Avoid lying on that side; put pillow behind to keep from rolling over

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Pressure: On the nerves. Most people shift positions without waking. Try sleeping on your back or front.

Question 9

i have noticed the past month or 2 when i lay down on my side(either side) my left hip(just below my hip on my hipdips) it becomes numb and i get a pins and needles sensation. makes it miserable to sleep on my side. no other symptoms. please help?

Accepted Answer

: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. If you have gained weight recently, that could be a precipitating factor and losing weight would be imperative. Regular exercise may help in improving muscle tone and flexibility. It would be prudent to see a doctor. Wish you good health!

Question 10

i lay on my right side to sleep my left hip starts to feel numb it doesn't cause pain -also low back/stomach pain/weight loss 25lbs-4wks what is this?

Accepted Answer

Time to see Dr: If your scale is accurate and you are not intentionally trying to lose weight, then you need to see your dr for evaluation to find out the cause. The numbness may be related or just a coincidence. See dr for eval.
