In Reply to: upper leg goes numb posted by Pat on November 15, 2000 at 17:40:54:
: I have been experiencing numbness of my upper leg for the past 2 months. It comes and goes during the day nothing in particular seems to bring this on. I can be sitting, walking, whatever and I get this strange electrical shock feeling it will last from 20 seconds to a minute then just disappear. Has anyone else with Parkinson's had this happen ?

I've had PD 16 yrs and haven't had this happen. (I even have electric stimulators implanted and don't experience anything like this.) I'd be sure to see my doctor, if I were you, to explain this phenomenon. Could it be a pinched nerve or the major artery experiencing blockage?? I have no medical degree, so I'm just wondering out loud for you....... Get thyself to a dr.!!
