You : You could be dealing with osteoarthritis in your hip with possible nerve irritation/inflammation which is causing your feeling of numbness. The first step is to see your primary care doctor. After a history and examination, an x-ray of your hip should be ordered. In the meantime your doctor can prescribe pain medication to relieve the pain and help with inflammation. Best of luck.
