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.

Hi, first of all avoid sitting at one place for more than 15 mins, every 15 mins get up and move around then sit
Sit tall with your buttocks all the way to the back

Hey
I think this is related to your work and may be postural as back pain is very common in IT individuals as it requires long hours of sitting as well as travelling.
Next Steps
Please get your posture assessed form a physiotherapist
Do back strengthening and mobility exercises
If required some electro therapy modality along with taping for better support
Health Tips
the chair that u use should have a lower back support
