Left Thigh Numbness On And Off. Stroke?

Dear Doctor,
I have this left thigh numbness for say 3 or 4 days now, on and off, awake or asleep. I'll see my GP later today but is this something serious or a sign of a stroke coming? It only goes up to my left thigh and still manageable. I am worried that there's underlying condition. Thank you and I'll wait for your reply.

Hi, it appears that you have arthritis of the hip, you needs to have M.R.I. for diagnosis. After some time with the numbness it may lead to pain, so i advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment.
Avoid taking potato, tomato, egg, chicken, and sea foods.
Thank you.
