For the last few months whn im laying down my right thigh goes numb every now and then it really is weird. do i have anything to worry about?

Numbness: Numbness is a sign of nerve irritation -- it can be central (near the spinal cord or in the brain itself) or peripheral (closer to the thigh) -- there is a common benign syndrome called meralgia paresthetica that may be the cause, but this should be evaluated by your primary care doctor.
