I bumped my L hip and now it is has been numb/ tingling for a few days as well as entire L lateral leg. I thought this could be back issue but with forward bending to open the lumbar foramen it did not decrease numbness/tingling. The numbness and tingling is mild, intermittent, with no numbness/tingling at night (at least not that I am aware)
Hello chartrainus, Thanks for posting your query Acc. to your description you are suffering from the symptom of sciatica. Means there is some stretching of sciatic nerve. So you have to extend the hip & flex the knee to reduce the stretching over nerve. I hope this answer satisfy your query.
