Notes on the experience? new
I went out Sunday afternoon for a quick jog and after about the third step my left leg from the knee down went numb. I am barely able to move my ancle or toes and knee movement is very limited. I cant feel anything like pinching but I can still feel preassure. Every now and then I get a feeling like pins and needles that goes from my ancle to my knee through the middle of my leg. I dont know if this may have been the initial cause but my homecoming dance was Saturday night and I had only gotten about 3 hours of sleep that night.
What are your thoughts and should I seek medical attention or just wait a week or so to see if it heals?
