Numbness in left thigh
I am a 27 year old guy and I have numbness in my left thigh. This happens if I sit at a place for too long or if I stand without moving for sometime. It's been happening for approximately 2 years now. It's better than what it was 2 years back but not too good.
Please suggest and help.
