Numb?

For the past month or so, the outside of
my upper right thigh often becomes numb
and feels like there is cold air blowing
on it. Do you think it's pregnancy
related? I keep forgetting to talk to my
doctor about it when I go in, but I think
I'm going to call tomorrow.
Another thing that happens a lot is my
ankles and lower calves get purplish red
and have white spots on them. I don't know
why. I think I should be sitting with my
feet up more.

hum never experienced the cold numbness
that i can recall.
the discoloration can be from bad
circulation, steven says it can be due to
low iron. have you had blood work done? i
cant remember. or ya prop your feet up
that should help too.

Yep I've had both happen to me. I believe
the numbness is from carpal tunnel and the
spots is probably what Steven said...low
iron.

I have had blood work done, but it was for
downs testing and stuff so I don't know if
they could tell me about low iron.
And I didn't know you could get carpal
tunnel in your legs 
I don't know if I have bad circulation. It
could be that. My hands are really hot a
lot of the time, though. Like tingly hot.

I think they would have told you if you
were anemic, but you would have to know if
they ran a CBC (complete blood count) in
order to know what your red blood cells
were at.
My feet would always turn purple and have
white spots on them but I was anemic, so I
figured it was that causing it. Who
knows.
Oops, I meant the numbness is from
sciatica (sp?). Also, I just read that
poor circulation can cause changes in skin
color and skin temperature, so maybe
that's what's happening. I'd bring it up
to your doctor next time.

Holy balls...I didn't realize it was 1:30
AM hahaha. I got out of work at 11:30 so I
guess that's why. And I slept until 12:30
today.
