my BF has a numb upper thigh...
Hey people. I am kinda new to the whole Google groups things. I was
just typing in a search request for my boyfriend. He is in his mid forties. He has been having a numbness on his upper left thigh. he thinks it may have started when sitting at our computer -chair. It got numb one day after sitting , then another. And he started noticing it happening more often, but didn't like write it down, as he wasn't thinking at the time that it would actually be something to worry about. So a few days ago, he noticed that when the rest of the leg woke up, that little area of his thigh did not. It stayed numb. So now it is numb,.and has been for a few days. Has anyone experienced something like this. Does anyone know if form sitting for a long time in any position, if it can permanently become numb. He doesn't know whether to attribute this to a spider bite, or possibly to our kitten, who loves to scratch, bite, suckle, on any-walking thing. there are marks like little dots, and mini scratches on the same thigh, and in the same area. We have no idea. I saw someones message on scaticia, and were wondering if this sounds similar. Also he is having a minor weight problem (but don't tell him), and I read that losing the weight may help alleviate some or all of it. Is this true. We have no money to see the a doctor, (join the club right?) and are trying to find out what may help, at least , help, without a physician. thanks people. We will check back in. |

Hi the I really want to use my lightning fast search finger to help you but the problem is I'm not a doctor. It's really unlikely that anyone who answers you is going to be a doctor. I don't want to scare you -- it really could be nothing, or it could be an indicator of several serious conditions I am not qualified to type the names of. You guys need to go to a clinic. There are a couple of free ones in my city, and a lot of Borg doctors will give you a discount if you tell them you have no insurance. c just a letter after all |

I agree with the other poster. Online doctoring is unwise. Find a way to
see a real live person who has degrees and generally is referred to as an MD. Mandy wrote: :: Hey people. I am kinda new to the whole Google groups things.

He has been having a numbness on his upper left thigh. he thinks it may have started when sitting at our computer -chair. It got numb one day after sitting , then another. I used to have this pretty bad before I got orthotics (custom-made arch supports), as a result of falling arches after I got a stress fracture in my foot and had it mis-diagnosed as a sprain at a hospital. (They eventually stumbled over it, after having me wear the wrong kind of shoe for a while that made it worse.) In my case, three things helped it: chiropractic adjustments to my foot and hips, wearing the orthotics, and stretching the hamstring muscle for 60 seconds several times a day. However, since this seems to have come up on him in a hurry, and you're seeing what could be bite marks, it could very well be something completely different. He could see a chiropractor to determine whether it's sciatica or some other pinched nerve, but make sure to see one who's willing to recommend an M.D. for things outside his own area of knowledge. (In my experience, that's easier to find than an M.D. who's willing to do the same in reverse, which is why I'd see them in that order.) -- Aaron -- 285/254/200 -- aaron.baugher.biz |

And we decided, that if it gets worse, and if the time calls, we will go to the LA County hospital. So thanks. There's a walk-in medical clinic on the corner of Sepulveda and Normandy, that's either in Harbor City or Lomita (I forget). Its right off 110 and Sepulveda. Its $35, the doctor there is great. If it ends up being something serious and needs treatment you can't afford, then you can shoot straight over to to Harbor UCLA (which isn't far away) if the doctor says you should. In the meantime, you can go to a regular doctors office, not have to wait in LA's emergency room for 15 hours, and not spend a lot. Holy Trinity Medical Center, their number is 310-534-5765. I took the x-wife and my kids there for *years* when we didn't have insurance (I was a patient too). Very affordable. Sorry, but this could be something serious, and you have no more excuses. Get on it. By the way, California has *great*Free* insurance for kids if you have kids can't afford insurance. Its called "Healthy Families" (I think). The democrats are trying to destroy that, by the way, so get on it right away if you need it. Post if you need more info. Mike |

Disclaimer: See a doctor.
IMHO: Instead of spending money on a doctor, buy a new chair, and make sure he doesn't have a wallet in his back pocket pressing on a nerve. I'll bet chiropractors would love to play with this problem. "Mandy" wrote in message ups.com... Hey people. I am kinda new to the whole Google groups things.

I'm gonna go with the consensus on seeing a doctor. Not a chiro or a healer or anything other than a real MD. Lots of cheap clinics in LA. That said, I sit on a swiss ball. Might try that and see if it gets better. Less pressure and less ability to sit incorrectly. |

The republicans are working very hard to keep these programs up and running. So that they can push through with their socialized health care "reform", the democrats are wiping out these programs left and right. Why? Why do they want to destroy existing programs? So that when these programs gone they can lie and finger the republicans. This thread is moving pretty far off-topic. Therefore, I say this: vote for the Free Beef Party. Free beef for all, pay for it by taxing sugar and beer. Mike |
