A member asked:
When i'm laying on my stomach or on my back with my left leg in a sims position, my upper thigh gets numb, what's going on?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nerve pinching: You may be developing meralgia paresthetica, compression of lateral femoral cutaneous nerve at the hip, and the position likely provokes the symptoms. Have your doctor examine this.
