I don't know if I should be alarmed about this

[thrihyrne]

I have a numb area on my shin, just below my knee on the left hand side. It's been that way for a couple of months now and I only think about it when I shave. I don't have health insurance so there's really nowhere for me to go and say, "By the way, I have this numb area— should I be alarmed?" It's just odd. It's not doing any harm that I can tell, but it is rather weird. I suppose if it spreads I'll look into it…

The Wookie has a numb spot on his let, too, and his doc told him it wasn't a big deal. Try not to worry about it. :)

That's very reassuring! I'll just ignore it, then. :)

Can't help you... never heard of that.
Did you twist or torque your knee at all? perhaps some kind of minor swelling is pressing on the nerve?
