I've had numbness in my upper thighs since it appeared in April of 2006. Which was the first truly obvious symptom that I had MS (which the physician's assistant at my doctor's office said was a sprain and for me to put heat on it. That P.A. was a lazy moron who had misdiagnosed me years before as having a sinus infection instead of mononucleosis)

The numbness has moved around on my hips, down to my knees, and down to my feet and back up. I dont always have numbness in my feet or toes, but it seems like it's stayed constant in my left knee. When it's in my upper thighs, that's when it's at the most annoying...especially when it's a really deep numbness.

I'm trying to learn to ignore the numbness. I've noticed that if I think about it a lot, that that will make it worse, so I try to not think about it too much.

The leg numbness for some reason, isnt as annoying as it has been when my arms and upper body have been numb. Last year after I got diagnosed, I had L'hermitte's (electrical shock sensation going down my spine if I bent my head forward) Had that for two or three months, and while that was going on, my entire body had numbness all over. Even my scalp was numb. That was so much more annoying (and disturbing!) than the leg numbness, that I dont even complain about numbness in my legs anymore, but I will if the entire body goes numb again.
