Question I have been having problems. From about my left knee down to my ankle I have a numbness on the top/shin area. If reminds me of how my legs felt when I had a spinal for my c-section, and how my belly felt around the incision after my c-section, it just doesn't feel right, I can feel it, it just isn't right.
My ankle is sore, and my hip/buttock/low back is sore, so I am thinking a pinched nerve. I also have a cramp in my foot at times.
I went to a chiropractor today, he didn't seem to worried, he adjusted me and for a minute or two it did get a little less numb feeling.
My question to you is, does this sound serious or would you agree that a few adjustments can probably fix me up? (That is basically what the chiropractor I seen told me)
If it isn't from my hip or ankle what else could it be?
I am 28 female caucasion, otherwise healthy. I have been aching.
Thanks for all your help!
P.S. No known injury, I do sit on that leg, and have pretty poor posture, I sit at a computer, and sleep on my stomach which makes it worse. I have been having a shoulder problem long before this started, I don't think it is related, but thought I would put it out there just in case.
AnswerHi Numb,
This may be all positional based on what you've said. It probably isn't from your back because the nerve distribution doesn't fit the numbness pattern. I can't comment on anything chiropractors say. If you continue to have this issue, I'd see a medical doctor.
