Default doc response to thigh numbness

I askes dr Juarez about my thigh numbness and he said.

I've lost alot of weight...
the nerves in my thighs used to have alot of fat surrounding them that are now shrinking
It takes time for all the nerves to settle down and as our bodies shrink and change the nerves are somewhat exposed to new elements, a new surounding of sorts.
It's quite common
Sometimes the redistribution of fat and muscle causes presure on some nerves in the thigh that causes the numbing sensation.
It will all work out... keep walking
