A member asked:
My right let goes numb from my hip down whenever i lay on my right side. is this merely sciatica or should i be more concerned?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly sciatica: It could be related to the sciatic but specific distribution of the numbness would be important and if it is really the entire leg you should likely get imaging of your lumbar spine. Please see your provider for history and physical examination.
