If i am laying on my back sometimes the outside of my thigh goes numb. is this something i need to have checked out?

Compressed nerve?: This sounds like a compressed nerve, probably near your spine. Such symptoms usually depend on body position. Do you also have back pain? See a doctor if it continues or worsens.
