Right side numbness?

[efq]

Well recently I have been getting a weird thing on the right side of my body. Well it's mainly below my waist.

My right leg goes numb, and feels really tight, and it can last for ages. It isn't a cramp and isn't painful, I can tell.

Anyone had this before and know what it is? I'm just curious because it's always the right side of my body and the same feeling of numbness and tightness. Slight tingling to.

could be putting pressure on your nerves

I don't know what I could be doing that does that? I don't do exercise anymore because of back problems and health issues, but i'm not in-active. I don't sit for long or in weird positions, most the time my legs are rested.

[David]

standing too long can do it too afaik

[efq]

Mm ok, just curious to why it numbs one side of my body, and the strongest side of my body too.
Thanks anyway.

I have scoliosis in my back, I don't dare think it could be causing it? The curve in my spine is slowly bending more...?

[David]

well nerves for your legs start in your lower back so it could be possible. only a doctor can say for sure really.
probably not even nerves

[efq]

Yeah, trying to avoid the doctors because I spend my life there, but again look's like I won't have a choice.

Well my curving in the spine starts at the bottom. But it was just the last time I got this was an hour ago and I was lying in bed.

might be worth a try calling nhs24 and seeing what a nurse says if a doctor is last resort for you

[efq]

Mhm, could do, I don't like to feel like i'm wasting their time though D:

And I assume you mean the NHS Direct - I'm in England :p

had a feeling it'd be different in england, but yeah same thing i suppose
and its better safe than sorry, they're there for a reason
