A member asked:
What can i do if my upper thigh has been really numb lately for no reason, could it be a blood clot?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Bloood clots don't usually cause numbness.Your symptoms are likley related to meralgia paraesthetica, an entrapment syndrome of the lateral cutaneous femoral nerve.Check with your pcp.
