I fell on my motorcycle and it landed on my leg. i suffered mild scrapes and bruising. i can walk/run/jump, but there is numbness in the injured area?

See details: You have likely contused a nerve and the numbness should resolved over 2-4 weeks. If it persists or you develop any weakness, see a doctor.

You most likely: injured some very SUPERFICIAL nerve endings. They will "regenerate" (come back) in several weeks...... Hope this is helpful! Dr Z
