Thank you for sharing this, Nathan. I can understand how concerning and uncomfortable. Your issue can be caused by a number of conditions. To find out, you need to undergo some tests. Kindly get these done - Neurological examination by a physician, MRI Lumbar Spine, Doppler Ultrasound of the Lower Limb, HbA1C, Vit-B12, FT3, FT4, TSH. And review with reports.
Feel free to reach out again.

Hello Nathan,
This could be peripheral neuropathy/dvt(circulation issues)/nerve compression.
🛑Kindly consult a neurologist/vascular surgeon. Doctor will do some neurologic evaluation, doppler tests,Blood works. Thereby you can find out the root cause and treat it as well.
Meanwhile: Avoid sitting or standing too long in one position. Do not wear tight belts or clothing across the hips. Elevate legs when resting if swelling occurs. Stay hydrated and gently stretch your legs. Avoid massaging or pressing areas that are painful or swollen (especially if clot is a concern).
Please dont delay the treatment.
I trust this helps Feel free to talk Thank you

Numbness and pain that spreads along the path you’ve described, particularly in the lower limbs, might suggest involvement of the nerves or vascular system. Two considerations should be made. First, it might be worthwhile exploring the possibility of meralgia paresthetica — a condition where the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve becomes compressed, often causing numbness or pain on the outer side of the thigh. While this typically doesn’t extend below the knee, overlapping issues could possibly complicate things. Additionally, vascular causes such as varicose veins or other venous insufficiencies could be contributing to symptoms along the path of veins you’ve noted. It’s crucial to consider conditions such as deep vein thrombosis, especially if there’s swelling, redness, or warmth in the affected areas, as these warrant immediate medical attention. On the other hand, peripheral neuropathy—sometimes seen with diabetes, vitamin deficiencies, or even due to certain medications or lifestyle factors—could cause numbness and pain in your lower limbs. Given these possibilities, a clear step involves scheduling a consultation with a healthcare professional, who might consider imaging or nerve conduction studies for a more definitive diagnosis. In the meantime, keeping a record of when symptoms occur or worsen could assist during your medical assessment. Avoid prolonged standing or sitting, wear compression stockings if venous issues are diagnosed, and consider addressing risk factors like smoking cessation, diet, or metabolic health. This keeps focus on safety and getting to the root cause, allowing a tailored treatment approach to minimize your discomfort and guide recovery. Seeking medical evaluation promptly is advisable to set the right course of management.
