A member asked:
Why would my thigh and hip feel numb if i stand in one place too long or lie in bed on my side?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nerve pinching: Could most likely have moderate nerve compression over lateral hip affecting lateral femoral cutaneous nerve of thigh, and level of compression increases with certain positions. Maybe avoid tight objects around waist, consider having your doctor evaluate this. (far less likely, lumbar stenosis or disc problem).
