Question 1

left numb shoulder and right numb thigh?

Accepted Answer

Get examined: An examination by your favorite physician will get things rolling for you.  There are several possibilities to explain your symptoms but you will need to have a complete history taken, be examined, and then, likely get either some bloodwork done or have some diagnostic testing done such as an imaging study, electrical test, or both.

Question 2

are they any ways to relieve a numb thigh and lower back pain?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely: Yes, but what it would really come down to is properly diagnosing and treating the condition.  There are a number of potential causes and treament would vary based upon the diagnosis.

Question 3

what would cause numbness on the front of the thigh when lying down?

Accepted Answer

Maybe nerve pressed: A person who gets numbness, tingling, or odd sensations in a part of his body only when in certain positions, is likely pressing on the nerve to that part of the body. Pressing on the blood vessels to that part of the body is also possible, but less likely. The person can see his primary care doctor and show him exactly what happens. The doctor may refer to a neurologist for further evaluation.

Question 4

for the last few months whn im laying down my right thigh goes numb every now and then it really is weird. do i have anything to worry about?

Accepted Answer

Numbness: Numbness is a sign of nerve irritation -- it can be central (near the spinal cord or in the brain itself) or peripheral (closer to the thigh) -- there is a common benign syndrome called meralgia paresthetica that may be the cause, but this should be evaluated by your primary care doctor.

Question 5

i have a mild pain in my left inner thigh , a little numbness on foot as well, no other symptoms, no injury. last week i've been laying down in bed most of the time because i've been sick, can this be the cause of the pain?

Accepted Answer

: It's possible that a bulging disc in the lower vertebrae pressed on a nerve root causing some thigh discomfort and the foot numbness. I would give this a week or so after being up and about  to resolve before seeing your physician or a neurologist.

Question 6

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Meralgia: Meralgia paresthetica.    Inflammation of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve in the region just medial to the anterior superior iliac spine (hip bone in front). Caused by excess adipose/weight pulling or pressuring the nerve there or even tight clothes/cell phone holster/etc just over the nerve. Treatments: loosen aggravating factors, lose weight, injections.

Question 8

i have numbness, tingling and sometimes pain down the outer side of my left leg frequently when sitting or lying down.  what could be causing this?  should i visit a neurologist ?

Accepted Answer

Not a rare thing: Compression of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve, usually at the groin can do what you describe. Common causes include tight clothing  compressing the groin, intrapelvic disorders, aneurysms of femoral artery, pelvic brim bone spurs, etc, etc.) neurology consult will help make diagnosis & maybe resolve it too.

Accepted Answer

Possibly a sciatica: A sciatica is caused by an irritation of a nerve in the back that then can cause pain that runs down the leg like you are describing.  There are also potentially other causes as well.  Usually a detailed history and exam can determine the cause.  Thank you for your question.
