Phone your clinic and get their advice on this one. It's what they're there for:)

That is often caused by nerve compression. It could be weight related. A doctor's opinion is the safest course. I have had that sensation in the past after walking for a few hours, but as I lost weight the problem went away.

Thanks guys. Called up clinic and they say may be due nerve compression as I was sleeping lying down all the time. Advised me to sleep on sides and walk.

Lateral femoral cutaneous nerve dysfunction - very common following rapid weight loss (or weight gain). Harmless but annoying. Don't cross your legs, that can make it worse.

Just to update u all.

I slept kn my sides yesterday and today almost no numbness.

I had numbness in my hands and feet, I called my clinic they said I was too early for Vitamin deficiency so they said most likely dehydration, I got a lot more fluids and that helped tremendously.
