Question
i am 34 years old i have been having numbness in my left leg from the knee down to my ankle for about a month now not sure why noticed it while i was shaving my legs i didn't have any feeling in it like i have had an anesthesia.  It has me worried what should i do thank you

Answer
Tara,
First of all you should know that this is not normal and so something is going on to cause this. Have you recently had a fall that may have affected your lower back or tailbone?  Maybe a slip on the ice this past winter?  Or sometime in your past?  I would be able to learn more about you and if I could possibly help you if I were to be able to examine you.  What I could do for you is see if there is a good doctor in your area that you could go to see for help.
Just send me your location and I can see if I have any colleagues in your area that may be able to help you.

Yours in Best Health,
