Q: feels like theres a rubber band around my upper thigh and my toes are numb. theres also some pain in my knee and calves. should i see a doctor?

: I would recommend that you see your doctor with these symptoms. When there is a constriction in your lower extremity that causes numbness in the foot, a condition called compartment syndrome could be present and needs to be identified as soon as possible.
