Suggest Treatment For Cold And Numbness In The Leg

I noticed the outside of my left leg feels numb and cold. Started on and off about a week ago. Today is the worst, has lasted most of the day. I am young, 22, female and in good health. No injury in legs right now. Confused what it might be and if I should bother going to doctor?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
dear friend
the symptoms you are explaining can have many reasons and it will not be possible to provide an answer off the cuff,
please get a vitamin B12 estimation done, also an MRI of the lower back will indicate if there are any reasons originating from the spinal cord.
best would be you go consult your gp and let him/her decide
I find this answer helpful
