I have numbness on the outside of my right thigh. its about 8 inches by 7 inches. the numbness runs deep into my leg. no pain in right leg. i have severe lower back pain. i have noticed it for 5 days now?

The location description is in the distribution of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve of the thigh, and you might possess meralgia paresthetica. The low back pain may or may not be related. Have your doctor examine you and advise.
