Hello, I am very new here and would appreciate any suggestions that anyone might have. I'm 45 and in generally good health, but 5 nights ago I woke up to a wierd pressure/discomfort in my left hip, that as I moved to change positions went shooting down my left leg to my foot. The next morning I realized that the top of my left foot including the middle two toes and up to my ankle was numb -- like it had been given a shot of novacaine. It doesn't effect the movement of the foot at all, and I barely notice it except when the top of my foot brushes something or I touch it to see if it is still numb. I don't have any idea what it is, though I've been reading that pinched nerves can cause numbness. I have a sister with MS who has similiar type symptoms, so internally I've been "freaking out" a bit with this. So far I've just been hoping it would go away....but not sure what to do.

Thanks for any insights....
Annette
