Numbness-Need help or advice quick?
Hi,
I have this strange thing and I really need help quickly in case it's bad. I have no idea. I'm 16 and on an exchange in India for the year. I got here a week ago, and have been taking malaria medicine, which I was told to take. But a few days ago, I started getting numbness in my right thigh. I have no other symptoms, the skin looks fine. I'm not sick. It is very strange. Any ideas/suggestions? I'm going to stop taking malaria medicine and see if that works. But what would cause that?''
Please respons quickly?

I didn't see any thigh numbness related to any of them, Can you call your family for instruction or your Dr. in the states? Sometimes thigh numbness can be caused by a pinched nerve. Have you had any previous injury etc. I would call my family and have them call your DR. and get back to you regarding. Good Luck,
Purple98LadyI don't have any other symptoms and I'm healthy in every other aspect. I also have never injured my leg, so it's really strange....i guess I could wait and see if it goes away. It's really not bothersome. If it spreads to my joints, then it'll be a problem and I'll get it checked out. I was just wondering if anyone has ever had similar symptoms or problems.
