Accepted Answer

Varies: There are multiple potential causes, I would not hesitate to be seen.  Among the two more common causes are an irritation of a nerve in your back or an irritation of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve at the pelvis (meralgia parasthetica).  A detailed exam will likely show the cause.

Accepted Answer

Lip numbness: Unfortunately, it's hard to tell you what it is because of very limited data provided. More data and physical examination would be required to help you arrive to a diagnosis.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Sciatica: Somethimes a pinched nerve or sciatca can cause pain or numbness on the left hip, back, leg area. I would see a doctor as soon as possible for an exam. Good luck

Question 4

Accepted Answer

This could be any: number of things but the diagnosis would be a bit challenging even with a detailed history and physical exam.  Clearly, you're concerned or you wouldn't have asked Health Tap about it.  You should see a doctor.  Best wishes.  Dr. Anne

Question 5

Question 6

numbness on left side below waistline on hip for 4 days. no redness, pain or rash. occasional itch. ?

Accepted Answer

Numbness: Numbness usually means some process involving a nerve.  It could be something like having worn tight-at the waist clothing that caused some compression, or possibly arthritis or spinal disk problem, particularly after having done some physical work. Onset of shingles could be numbness, itch or pain. Since this is persisting, i would recommend a visit to your doctor for a proper diagnosis.

Question 7

i've got numbness on outer left leg from hip to above knee, what do i do?

Accepted Answer

See doctor: This may be meralgia paresthestetica.  A nerve that give sensation to the area that gets 'pinched' up outer groin region.  Can also be iliotibial band syndrome, a tough band of tissue that goes from your hip to knee that becomes inflammed.  Check with your doctor.

Question 8

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 9

pain and numbness in lower back with some light spasms. numbness from left hip down to foot. left side. some past with degenerative disc. causes?

Accepted Answer

Nerve impingement: can be caused by being sandwiched between two spinal bones, pressed by a bulging. It can cause muscle spasm and back pain. Prevention treatment is always recommended. This condition must be professionally managed. See interventional pain management specialist for definitive diagnosis and management. It is the same as a pinched nerve.

Question 10

three months ago i had a left hip resurfacing.  i'm expierenceing numbness on the back of that  knee . it goes from the back of the knee up my thigh ?

Accepted Answer

Thigh numbness: Details matter.  When did it start in relation to the surgery...Immediately or later.  If later, it may be related to jeans or a belt or a tool belt that are too tight, compressing the lateral cutaneous nerve of the thigh.  See: http://en.Wikipedia.Org/wiki/lateral_cutaneous_nerve_of_thigh for details.  I suggest you consult a neurologist, who tell better which nerve(s) might be involved.
